Everything has been very well organized. The teacher explained everything in great detail and made sure that each of the students understood the maneuvers well and was able to do them. He made sure we understood the “why” and logic of all maneuvers. He showed us several boats to demonstrate the differences in systems and designs. It has undoubtedly been a very rewarding internship weekend (emotionally and in terms of the knowledge acquired). Looking forward to continuing browsing 🙂!
Nicolas Migueiz –
The practices really went very well, the teacher demonstrated great pedagogical ability and ensured that we managed to master the exercises he proposed.
Pol –
The sailing practices were very good! Alvaro of ten! As with motor, the negative point is that there are either too many people on the boat or not enough hours of practice. Thank you!
M Teresa –
They have been great, both the boat, the organization, and the teacher. Very practical and you really learn the main thing.
Chris –
Fantastic sailing practices. The skipper Álvaro, a very good teacher, transmits his passion for sailing.
Anna –
I liked the ROCA practices much more than expected. Well planned classes, very good teacher, ideal number of students per class and very useful materials and simulator to understand and apply the theory. I have learned a lot.
Apolonio Cobos –
ROCA practices. Both the organization and the development have been impeccable. The practices with the simulator have been very interesting. Perhaps it would be nice to have both written and audio examples of real conversations.
Pablo –
Everything perfect, the teacher a 10. Delighted
Marcos Becerro –
The incredible teachers: very professional, attentive, friendly (and patient)... a 10. The fantastic facilities and the classrooms in very good condition. Everything was great in my ROCA internship.
Michael Perez –
Despite some small computer problems, everything was very correct. Matthias, the teacher, making the 1st day enjoyable with the entire presentation of the theoretical part. The rest of the days, we had fun practicing in the simulators an endless number of possible real situations, to be able to face them safely, if necessary, in navigation.
