Chieftain Training Reviews 

Great teaching level. Good source material.

Our Part 2 Engine Maintenance Training Day with Chieftain was excellent. Lots of practical advice and a rare opportunity to be hands on with a range of engines. I can thoroughly recommend this course.

Perhaps the most effective and enjoyable course I have ever done. The Instructor was highly knowledgeable and able to translate that knowledge into easily understandable terms; questions were encouraged and answered thoroughly. The course more than met my expectations.

Excellent day, well worth the money, John the instructor was excellent.

Course content very good and well presented by instructor. Concerns about hygiene at the pool facilities were put to rest promptly.

A first class course with a great instructor John, highly recommended.

This was an excellent two days. Having read a detailed book on the syllabus I learnt so much more in the classes and in discussion with the tutor. He was clearly very experienced and knowledgeable. The second day built upon the standard RYA course and gave hands on experience on fault finding, fixing common problems and working on a range of engines and electrical systems.

Enjoyed my time at Chieftain on the GOC, very good delivery and training by the instructor.

Very good training centre good knowledgeable instructors highly recommend to all

Did my gmdss roc here found the instroctor reall good on the ball real would experience pushed you in the right direction told you where you needed to brush up an just maid the course as good as it can be

The hands-on approach mixed with clear explanation pulled the whole course together.
The instructor (John) is clearly very knowledgeable and experienced - he willingly shared this together with some very useful professional ‘top tips’ - over and above the curriculum.
A very informative & enjoyable day.

Very professional, great coaching and instruction.

A well thought through course, delivered by a very experienced instructor, and supported by a wealth of tools and materials.

There was a lot of flexibility on day 2 to apply the knowledge in class on topics of the students’ choice. So some people designed and built parts of projects that they want to do after the course. I designed some circuits and checked them out with the instructor, then practiced fault diagnosis. They even have a simulated boat electrical system that they break and disable in various ways, which I then had to diagnose.

A tremendous balance of theory and practice. Thanks Chieftain.

fantastic training course fully hands on to help you overcome any problems you may be having on your boat / campervan
