The instructor (Charlie) is a very good teacher and with deep knowledge of the subject that he knows how to convey, you can clearly tell that he likes sailing and teaching. I value it very positively.
I'm not going to give 5 stars because 16 hours in total is a short amount of time to acquire the skills to navigate alone. But if I were to evaluate only the teacher, I would give him a 5/5.

Everything is great. Practices with few students, which allows you to take advantage of them and enjoy them to the fullest, and very good instructors who are super attentive to any questions

Everything has been made easy by the school, teacher Liz has been great, both in her explanations and in the attention she has given us throughout the practical training.

All perfect

The instructor (David Martín) is very clear and precise in his explanations, making the entire course flow effectively and pleasantly.
The first day of the practice seemed unbeatable to me.
The second day I missed more maneuvering practice on an individual level. In my case I only did a Williamson/Boutakov maneuver in 8h). Perhaps the morning of the second day could be better used.
Carles Ballbe –
Well explained by the monitor. From my point of view the group was too large. You learn more by looking at how the other participants do it than by the practices you can do. In my case: only one approach to a gas station, one mooring maneuver, one navigation practice and one man overboard (the rest of the companions the same), which is very little given that it is 16 hours of practice.
