MERCATOR MARITIME

RYA SEA SCHOOL

THEORY COURSES

At Mercator Maritime we specialise in offering individual one to one personalised tuition for all RYA Shorebased courses. Courses take place at our premises in Verwood, Dorset or we can come to your home. The courses can either consist of five days (Monday to Friday), three weekends or can be individually tailored to your personal needs.

 

To help in the learning process we have a Raymarine Plotter/Radar in our classroom which we will use for practical demonstrations of effective electronic navigation.

 

All theory courses require some evening study in order to cover the entire syllabus

 

Whilst our courses are normally one to one we are able to offer a substantial reduction if two students book together. In order to maintain the highest quality of tuition we regret that we are unable to offer courses for more than two people.
