Assessment: In addition to a course completion certificate from this course candidates must plan and execute a ’qualifying passage’ of at least 600nm, taken sights with a sextant, reduced them to a position on the chart and have checked the compass using a celestial body. They must also carry out practical sights at sea (Ocean Sights) and then present themselves for oral examination to an RYA examiner. We can arrange for candidates who have already done a passage to take their sights and to do the oral exam.
