You’ll start by meeting with a senior instructor to create a learning plan based on your goals. For a consistent learning experience, you will train one-on-one with that same instructor until you gain the skills and knowledge that you need to sail with confidence.
The majority of your time with the instructor will involve hands-on sailing. You will be responsible for reading the materials and studying for the certification exam on your own.
