Thanks Dan , we are glad you enjoyed your Powerboat level 2 Course. Powerboat Intermediate next....
Excellent course
The course instructor was excellent, there was a real balance of the practical time on the water, which was well supported, and the time in the classroom learning the theory. I was also very impressed at how well the instructor judged when it was good to allow me to make my own mistakes and when he should correct me in advance. Thoroughly enjoyed the course and learnt a lot.

Thank you for the great review.
One of the main aims of our Yacht Maintenance course is to take subjects that can initially seem complicated or intimidating and make them practical, understandable and enjoyable.
We’re really pleased to hear that you came away feeling more confident and that “boat stuff” now seems a little less daunting!
Thanks again for training with Chieftain Training.
Alan is a great instructor

I found the course very detailed
I found the course very detailed , it had a lot of theory content packed in.
The pool activities using actual life rafts gave us an opportunity to put into practice what it actually feels like to climb aboard. I learnt a lot from the course.

Glad you enjoyed the RYA sea Survival course. It is a fun and eye opening course.
Paddle board instruction with Kai.
Had a great paddle board beginners lesson with Kai. The entire lesson was full of practical safety advise, enabling me to make time sensitive decisions, I was given a good understanding of using the paddle more efficiently( not just to move! ) and instruction to take away and practice. An hour instruction for £25 with someone so competent.
I stood up and stayed up. Really thankful. Excellent

I had a really positive experience doing my GMDSS course here. Alan’s explanations were very clear and easy to understand, and he always took the time to make sure everyone was following and fully understood the topics before moving on.
