Online Multimedia Theory Courses

Learning the theory and technical knowledge of sailing has never been easier - or this fun - until now. NauticEd's real-time library of state-of-the-art coursework is available with just one click of a button, making your sailing goals attainable and achievable. Learn in the comfort of your own home with cutting edge technology for simple and easy access to learn theory and knowledge at your own pace.

Courses are cross-platform, multimedia, interactive, real-time, mobile friendly, continuously updated, and - in one student's comment - 'downright addictive'. Theory knowledge courses include interactive simulations: much like pilots practice simulations before "taking off", sailors strengthen their knowledge before "casting off".

Retake the tests as often as needed. Our goal isn't pass/fail, but focusing your education where it benefits you the most.

Every charter operator requires a properly formatted sailing resume that confirms your sailing experience (believe us, we've asked them). NauticEd offers a free, globally recognized logbook and resume building tool to track your on-the-water experience in one convenient virtual location.

With a few simple steps, you can track your on-the-water experience, add crew-mate authentification, and watch your resume grow to qualify for chartering sailing yachts worldwide.
