It’s celebration time at Coastguard Boating Education. The crew at CBE have decided to celebrate their recent LearnX international award with a prize draw for Day Skipper Online students.
From now until the end of June 2015 if you enrol on a Day Skipper Online course you will be automatically entered into a prize draw. There is a Marine VHF Online course up for grabs as well as Tristram Marine gear. That’s a pretty warm deal so you had better tell your mates so that they don't miss out.
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’. The Day Skipper Online course won the Silver Award at the international LearnX Impact Awards 2015.
CBE General Manager, Neil Murray, says that “winter is a prime time for boaties to brush up on their boating knowledge and now that we have the online course there is no excuse to not know what you’re doing on the water this summer.'
