Coastguard Boating Education’s most popular introductory course that focuses on essential boating safety knowledge relevant to all boaties was developed into an online version and launched in March of this year.
Only one month later Coastguard Boating Education (CBE) is delighted to announce that the Day Skipper Online course has won the Silver Award at the international LearnX Impact Awards 2015.
With over two hundred entries of an exceptionally high standard, Day Skipper Online received the Silver Award in the Best Learning Services category in collaboration with Optimism, the creative content developer. The awards recognize the finest talent and innovation from the world of learning throughout the Asia Pacific region.
CBE General Manager, Neil Murray, says that “winning a LearnX Impact Award is fantastic endorsement of the talent of all those involved in the project. I am extremely proud that Day Skipper Online has been acknowledged amongst the preeminent and most creative agencies in the eLearning industry and that this online course is now reaching into the homes of the boating community”.
The Day Skipper Online course, sponsored by Tristram Marine, is an interactive and fun way to learn. It can be completed anytime, anywhere, on a tablet, laptop or desktop. There are five units covering all crucial aspects of boating safety: the boat, navigation, rules and regulations, emergencies and knots. The buoys and beacons section of navigation is a free section that CBE has made available to familiarize students with the functionality of the course before they proceed to the full paid version. The course costs $157 and includes assistance by the ‘Online Coach’.
CBE Market Development Manager, Sue West, will be presenting at the conference in Sydney Australia and will receive the trophy on stage at the LearnX Impact Awards Presentation Ceremony on 9th September.
