Simple to understand and taught in a concise manner that builds on each other for the mariners certification.

So far I’m really enjoying the course. The speaker/teacher speaks clearly. I’m really liking his approach and his process on teaching.

This was a very good introduction that I'll recommend to my students. The primary problem we will have is that here, in Japan, we use two plain triangles, a 46 and a 30/60 for chart work.
Still, the basics are presented clearly.
Thanks
