Marine Navigation

Event Phone: 281-451-1146

This class covers Marine Navigation.
The original name of this course was Piloting.

This course is a skills-intensive education and will be taught at Home Port.  This course is in-person because of the skills to be learned.  The first dates are instruction, followed by an overall review, and finally the exam distribution and exam criteria (take home exam, 1-week allotted for the exam).  This is typically an 8-week course (including exam).  If you cannot make it to one or more of the instruction dates, you should be okay.  Reading the student manual and completing the end-of-chapter examinations are paramount to learning the material.  Please plan on attending the review and final exam (distribution) dates, as they must be done in person.  

The course will have Mentors that will help you with skills, understanding charting techniques and working with you during the final examination.  A book set is mandatory, but plotting tools can be borrowed.  Register early so materials can arrive on time.
