Why follow this training at the EZS?
The Enkhuizen Nautical College has been the institute where professional sailors are trained since 1978. Since then, the nautical college has kept pace with the times. Every year, all training programs and courses are thoroughly reviewed and adapted to current times and regulations.
Lessons at the maritime school are structured and of high quality. We achieve this with expert teachers, good teaching materials, and pleasant social interaction. Safe sailing starts with a good and solid foundation of training, knowledge, and experience.
Our classroom-based education covers more than most “online” providers include in their lessons.
A frequently heard comment regarding these providers is “Now I have completed the course, but I don’t know how to call a lock or a bridge” or ” I have my VHF certificate now, but I have never seen or held a VHF radio, let alone spoken through one.”
We incorporate all these learning needs into our teaching, so that you are well-prepared regardless of where you sail; we also offer:
- Small classes
- Individual attention
- Small-scale
- Very competitive prices
- Experienced and qualified staff
- Classroom education: We bring practice into the classroom
- Online learning environment
- Leading simulation software (Marcom A & B)
- Not cold classrooms, but a nautical experience
- Up-to-date course material
- Including coffee/tea and registration fee for the practical exam
Frequently Asked Questions
