Eva –
I found the course very enjoyable because of the teacher, he gave many examples of situations in which we could find ourselves at sea and resolved all my doubts. The PNB exam is very easy so I solved it without problems since before I did some tests in the virtual classroom that helped me, now I plan to get the PER so in the summer I can go to the islands.
