Guided Tour

Let us walk you through a tour of the course and show you why students tell us they love it!

Short sessions to fit it in with your schedule

Each module contains topics covering specific skills or techniques. We know time is precious, so they are divided into sessions, most no more than 15 minutes.

We’re always on hand to help

If you need help at any stage, your briefing room is at the top of each topic, module, and classroom, where you can ask questions and get support.

Chart Positions

Charts represent specific parts of the world, and we need to be able to reference any position on them. We do this using latitude & longitude, enabling us to pick out any location accurately. Learn how latitude and longitude work and how to use them to locate anywhere on earth.

Learn how latitude & longitude work, how to find any position on earth and how to use a Portland Course Plotter to mark and measure positions on a chart.
