Test your knowledge of nautical theory

We want to make your course with us a great success, and preparation is key.

To get the most out of your practical RYA Competent Crew, Day Skipper and Coastal Skipper courses, we recommend that your theoretical knowledge on navigation and seamanship is recent and at a sufficient level. 

How do I know that I’m sufficiently prepared for this practical training course ?

We have produced a Pre-course Knowledge Quiz where you can test your own theoretical knowledge and self-assess whether you need more studies in the different areas. We recommend to do the Quiz several weeks before joining your practical training. Please note that the outcome of the Quiz does not give access to a RYA certificate.

The Quiz consists of a number of questions of which the majority is multiple choice. You have 90 minutes to complete all questions. After completing the last question, your score will be shown plus any corrections. The results will also be emailed to you.

A minimum score of 70% provides you with a Quiz completion certificate. Please bring a print out of the certificate to your practical course. In the unfortunate case that your score would stay below 70%, we will be able to offer you supporting courses to help you obtaining the necessary solid foundation of your theory knowledge for joining the RYA Day Skipper practical course, e.g. one of our RYA theory courses or a short navigation refresher course.

Learning never stops; enjoy our Quizes.

We are committed to help you to make your upcoming practical course a great success.
