Our courses combine two to three levels of the ASA program taught in a one week format. Many people, even people who have been sailing for years, have experience on only one type or size of boat or in a limited geographic area. Also, many people who are self taught lack the fundamental knowledge that can let them proceed easily to an unfamiliar boat or an unfamiliar area. We provide the education and the fundamentals so that a student can then proceed on his or herown. ASA certification provides internationally recognized credentials, quality educational materials, professional instruction, specific goals and training for each level of the program, and discounts with many charter companies throughout the world.
Every charter company has their own standards to qualify prospective charterers.
A certification in Bareboat Chartering or higher will show the charter company that you have received formal training and have passed a rigorous program with specific standards.
