In the day of AIS, ARPA, and Integrated Chart-Plotters, people are relying less on paper and visual navigation, therefore it is becoming more important to know what to do if/when these technologies fail. This is a fun, practical hands-on course. We have one of the highest pass rates of any school because we bring in extra instructors for part of this course to ensure that every student, no matter what their experience or knowledge, gets the one-on-one time needed to succeed.
