Chieftain Training Opiniones 

Good information on radar

Very flexible arrangements to suit my particular circumstances, great facilities and instructors and being well prepared to pass a difficult exam.

This was my second course with Chriftain training, I had no hesitation in returning. Everything about the powerboat CofC preparation course and exam was excellent. The facilities were spot on, the instructor was friendly and very knowledgeable. The boat was just right for the course. I am looking for more courses to do at Chriftain Training

I was expecting the course to cover basic outboard engine servicing. Unfortunately a lot of the morning was taken up covering stripping down and fault finding in carburettors - something more akin to what a marine engineer would be expected to do.

The afternoon session was much more relevant and covered what I was expecting within an engine service, e.g. oil & spark plug replacement, filter changes, accessing and replacing water pumps, general fault finding, winterisation, etc.

The training workshop could have been heated better. It was very cold and it became difficult to handle tools and small components due to cold hands.

Toilet facilities need attention. There were several courses running on the day I attended and only one toilet available 🚽.

Great course content and very knowledgeable instructors. Overall the course was valuable however, lots of delegates on this course so the whole day was quite rushed, especially the pool session.

It was an incredible experience from start to finish. The weekend was well-organized and packed with valuable learning, especially the pool sessions and case studies, which were both intense and practical. The pool sessions in particular gave us hands-on confidence in real-life survival techniques, and the case studies offered insights that made everything feel much more applicable to actual scenarios.

Our instructor were knowledgeable and kept everything engaging. We walked away with new skills and a much stronger sense of preparedness for offshore sailing. We’ll definitely be back for a refresher course in the future.

Highly recommended to anyone serious about offshore preparedness!

Excellent training from a knowledgeable and personable instructor.

Alan is an excellent instructor, the weather was great as was pirate pasties. Altogether a great experience.

Great instructor. Really knew his stuff. Very informative course. Now feel confident with continuing my boating career

Doug and the team at Cheifton Training put me through a RYA Powerboat level 2 course, he was quick to respond to my query, worked around my tight schedule and gave me 1 on 1 training and assessment. Thoroughly recommend catching up with Doug and the team to get you on the water!

Great advanced powerboat instructors course with Doug. Will be back for further qualifications in the future. Thanks Chieftain team!

A really hands on course with lots of practical learning through making 12V circuits

An excellent 12v marine electrics course. Learned loads, helped by putting much into practice as we progressed.

Their ability to effectively demonstrate material ensured clarity and enhanced learning. Overall, Chieftain training surpassed expectations with their knowledgeable instructor and well-organized content delivery.

I came here from continental Europe for the third time after having taken here three instructor courses. I guess that there is no better recommendation.

The instructor alan taught us very well, all the training equipment is provided to approach and complete the course successfully.

Alan was a very very very great instructor he made everything great and easy and simple.

Neil was awesome. Very thorough, took his time with us and explained everything very well. He gave constructive criticism where needed to, but also told us where we did things right. Overall great course and experience.
