I did the RYA Sea Survival and then the second day as well. The pool session is tough but rewarding and worthwhile - if nothing else it teaches you that you never want to be in a liferaft. Great instr... Ver más

Supporting The Kennet and Avon Canal Trust.

Alan the instructor was not only so knowledgeable himself he was able to download this knowledge to our group of 12. He was constantly checking we understood and was demonstrating that understanding throughout the day.
An excellent day. Thankyou Alan.
We at the Kennet and Avon Canal Trust now have greater confidence in supporting our many canal boat customers.

A positive couple of days training.

It was an informative and interesting couple of days doing my Powerboat Advanced course. The course was dynamic and helped me improve on my weaknesses.

The instructor (Pete) was great, and taught us in a way that we all enjoyed and learnt from.

The first day was a long day (due to night navigation), but due to the break at Cowes, I didn't feel tired by the end of it.

I cant wait to come back to Chieftain Training to do my CoC and a few other courses. I highly recommend this training centre.

Sea Survival/WS Offshore

Initially I was annoyed that the RYA effectively mandate turning Sea Survival into a qual that has to be revalidated, but having not trained or practised in this area for 24 years, I'm so glad I did it again. As always with Chieftain: slick, professional delivery from industry experts.

Marine electrics

The Instructor Joe is an extremely experienced electrical engineer with a very broad range of knowledge . He broke down the basics of marine electrics into a simple format giving a good onsite into the general operations of a craft and troubleshooting
Very enjoyable and worthwhile course.

STCW Medical First Aid Course

STCW Medical First Aid course really gives you the confidence to approach any first aid situation and provides extended capabilities for dealing with situations offshore. 100% worth it for anyone working in the marine industry, who won't have immediate access to medical facilities. Great course, very comprehensive content and very experienced instructors.

Excellent course

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

Outboard Engine Servicing Course

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 🚽.

Valuable course but too many delegates.

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.

For any readers, this was some time ago but here was our email response to Nick at the time.

Thanks for your feedback yesterday, it is all read and I pay a great deal of attention to it. Likewise we keep an eye on Trust pilot etc reviews. I am gutted we only scored “average" yesterday

I am sorry we didn't deliver to your expectations, in particular I am sorry you felt rushed in the pool. It didn't feel rushed to us, we thought it all fitted in well and we are able to cover more than the syllabus in the 2 hr session. Clearly we need to reflect how we manage the pool to ensure students don't feel rushed. If you have a few minutes to let me know anything specific it would be appreciated.

My experience of other schools is that there is a lot more standing around while you wait your turn. We are the only school I know off that puts 2 rafts in the pool with larger groups. This keeps things moving and allows you to see variety. The added benefit is this gives us three raft doors. At most school you wait considerable time on the pool side to have one go at climbing into the raft. We have organised our pool session so that the capsize drill is the only time you are really standing around waiting. This gives us more time for the “lights out, abandonment session" at the end

There are very few Sea Survival schools that cover live flare firing, this obviously eats into our timings and our overheads but I feel it is a valuable experience. Was there any part of the day you felt we should have omitted?

Any specific comments you have will be appreciated

I realise you have done the course now, but if you would like to repeat it and take some more time to absorb the life raft and everything else i would be happy to book you in again free of charge, on a date with less delegates and we will do our best to slow things down

Highly recommended to anyone serious about offshore preparedness!

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!
