Montse –
I have to admit that I passed thanks to the videos on the School's website explained by Miquel Marce. He makes clear and concise explanations, graphic examples and provides photographs that are very suitable for each topic, and he highlights very well what is important for the exam as well as gives many tricks with mnemonic resources to memorize RIPA and BEACONING both to be well prepared for the exam as well as to have clear notions when sailing.
Unfortunately, I didn't like the teacher I had to prepare the PNB at all, they were monotonous and very dense classes... You just have to watch the recordings of the classes between one teacher and another, there is a lot of difference!
Practices: I really liked Marc, he explains very well. It would have been better to do 1 day of practice with a non-inflatable boat... at least 1 of the two days, the experience would be appreciated. Sometimes I thought I was rafting...
Receptionists/telephonists/administrators: they are all GREAT, very professional, polite and very patient.
Thank you so much.

Gines Palacios Ruiz –
For me, I can only rate both the personal treatment and the approach to the agenda as excellent. As always, thank you for worrying about having professionals of that level.
Ruben –
A 10. Attention from the teachers as their explanations were clear, didactic and enjoyable without making them boring at any time. I would recommend it 100%
Ricardo Castro Gil –
The virtual platform is adequate and very useful, but the in-person classes with examples and personal navigation experiences of the trainers give you extra knowledge. I congratulate the training team.
Noemi Gali –
The course has been more enjoyable than I expected. Alejandro has explained to us the important things, not only for the exam, and has shown a lot of patience in answering our questions.
The perfect boat, next to the facilities.
We would have liked them to explain to us that it was interesting to take the exam as soon as possible and not have to wait 1 month to do it as we do now.
Frank –
All very well! They had good sailing conditions, and they have been very productive. We were able to practice many maneuvers and the skipper John was very professional.
Luis Gil –
Professor John is a crack!!!!
Gines Palacios Ruiz –
Nothing negative to say about the school and a lot to say about the personal treatment, both the office staff and the fantastic treatment of the teacher in navigation, always positive.
Summed up GREAT.
Thank you for knowing how to be.
