Enjoyed my time at Chieftain on the GOC, very good delivery and training by the instructor.

Very good training centre good knowledgeable instructors highly recommend to all

Learning was delivered to a high standard

Spent 5 days doing the Day Skipper theory course with Pete. Enjoyed it from start to finish, learnt tonnes and gained lots of confidence for my day skipper practical. High recommended.

Fantastic. Michael was great and very helpful

Great stuff! Did my STCW PST course with Chieftain and can’t complain! Can only recommend!

At last! I can tie a diamond knot and do a braid on braid backsplice. Excellent day, very hands on. Instructor John very patient and knowledgeable.

Very good course and ensured all elemtns where covered in prep for the exam

A superb course! A lot of good points and information to take away from this, Thanks to Doug, a very well delivered course! Highly recommend!

Did my gmdss roc here found the instroctor reall good on the ball real would experience pushed you in the right direction told you where you needed to brush up an just maid the course as good as it can be

The hands-on approach mixed with clear explanation pulled the whole course together.
The instructor (John) is clearly very knowledgeable and experienced - he willingly shared this together with some very useful professional ‘top tips’ - over and above the curriculum.
A very informative & enjoyable day.

Very professional, great coaching and instruction.

A well thought through course, delivered by a very experienced instructor, and supported by a wealth of tools and materials.

There was a lot of flexibility on day 2 to apply the knowledge in class on topics of the students’ choice. So some people designed and built parts of projects that they want to do after the course. I designed some circuits and checked them out with the instructor, then practiced fault diagnosis. They even have a simulated boat electrical system that they break and disable in various ways, which I then had to diagnose.

A tremendous balance of theory and practice. Thanks Chieftain.

fantastic training course fully hands on to help you overcome any problems you may be having on your boat / campervan

Excellent amount of content but sometimes a little hurried due to lack of time. It would have been better to have an extra half day to make lectures and lunchtime a bit longer, however I have learned alot and it was definitely worth the money.

This is my 2nd course with John and, as with previous, a great course delivered very professionally and engaging. I'll no doubt be back for more.

Oceans online course was effective, invigilator at exam in Southampton was very helpful, despite having to fly in to the UK for this the process worked well in all ways.

Have taken several courses with Chieftain Training and will consider returning for more. All RYA/STCW/yachting/boat related.

I have just finished a 2 day course. I have a relatively new boat with modern equipment and wanted to come away with practical skills and knowledge.
The standard of handouts was poor and the teaching style haphazard and unfocused without a clear syllabus.
The trainer is only familiar with older simple systems. NEMA networks were not covered and for example he had never heard of a combined tank and electric display such as a phillipi or simarine poco.
I can now look for and find faulty equipment and short circuits and rewire faults but that’s about it. If you have a boat built in the past 15 years or so this is not the course for you.

Diesel Engine Maintenance L1&2. Good content, good instruction, knowledgeable teacher with loads of relevant experience. Practical sessions on the engines were so much better than staring at a schematic diagram or YouTube vid. Proper hands on teaching.

Friendly, experienced and helpful trainer, he set an excellent learning vibe with the right pace for the participants on the day. A wide range of engines and other mechanical equipment to work on, good range of tools, small class size = lots of access to the trainer.

The course carries on from RYA Diesel, getting into a bit more detail and focusing on fault finding and resolution. There were two main themes to the day: things to help with fault finding, and things to help with routine maintenance. This worked perfectly for me and what I wanted from the day.

At one point the trainer takes a working diesel engine and "breaks it" in various ways. You then get to diagnose and fix it, with support from the trainer. I loved this approach, it really helped me learn.
