Training Programs and Courses

The Enkhuizen Nautical College has been the institute for training professional sailors since 1978. Since then, the college has evolved with the times. Every year, all programs and courses are thoroughly reviewed and adapted to current standards and regulations.

Lessons at the Enkhuizen Nautical College are structured and of high quality. We achieve this with expert teachers, good teaching materials, and a pleasant social environment. Safe sailing starts with a good and solid foundation of training, knowledge, and experience.

Our classroom-based education covers more than what 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 bridge” or ” I have my radiotelephony certificate now, but I have never seen or held a 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 and B)
• Not impersonal classrooms, but a nautical experience
• Up-to-date course materials
• Including coffee/tea and registration fee for the practical exam
