My ROCA internships have been excellent: The organization of the school, the information and attention offered. The teacher, Alejandro A., has made the syllabus and simulator practices much more enjoyable, with a lot of patience and clarity resolving any type of doubt.
ISAAC FREIJO PEREZ –
as always perfect! perhaps the material is beginning to be a little worn (winch worn and slipping, worn ropes, broken mainsail cover...).
Xavier –
The ROCA practices 2-3 amb l'Alejandro will be good.
It's a shame that due to Covid prevention, the simulator cannot be used. Perhaps the solution would be to require participants to carry their own headphones with a microphone
Godoy Pablo Federico –
Whether the PER in-person course + the Radio Operator practice carried out have been very satisfactory. In particular, teacher Elena has been very clear in concepts and explanations of what we can find in the open sea. I have not yet done my Motor or sailing practices but so far I am very satisfied with the theory, the facilities where the classes are held and the organization.
Alex –
They have really been very useful classes, with very qualified instructors. Very happy with the experience.
Pasqual –

A very good and recommended experience from start to finish.

Elena made the ROCA practices very enlightening and enjoyable, although she would have liked to have practiced each call a little more. Regardless, it was a very educational experience and I would recommend it to everyone.
Rafa –
Very entertaining and fantastic, the instructor is a crack who brings out everything in you; This has made them enjoyable, it is very fun and teaches well. Thanks, Martin.
Albert Borrell –
The sailing practices with Martín were an incredible experience, very demanding on a theoretical and practical level, but with extraordinary moments, from adrenaline to total peace. The teacher had a positive and dynamic attitude at all times, the 16 hours flew by. A 10!
Lidia –
The first practices are going to be with Luis, he is a sole teacher and he has confidence and the others are going to be with Marti, he is all the opposite, he is very passionate and very good teacher, my CAPTAIN!!!
It is ideal for both practices.
Estic molt agraida.
