Description

The ASA 105 Coastal Navigation online course equips students with the knowledge and skills to apply navigational theory and practices for the safe navigation of sailing vessels in coastal and inland waters. Building on the on-water coastal navigation skills introduced in ASA 103, Basic Coastal Cruising, and further developed in ASA 104, Bareboat Cruising, and ASA 106, Advanced Coastal Cruising, this course provides progressively detailed elements to enhance navigational competence. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of coastal navigation, ensuring they are well-prepared for the complexities of navigating in various waterways.

Our ASA 105 Coastal Navigation online course is thoughtfully designed to eliminate the need for additional textbooks or workbooks, streamlining your learning experience. However, to enhance your practical skills, we do recommend the purchase of basic chart plotting tools. These tools are essential for hands-on navigation practice and will contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the material. Rest assured, a training chart will be promptly mailed to you upon registration, ensuring you have the necessary resources to actively engage with the course content. We look forward to guiding you through a seamless and enriching learning journey in coastal navigation.

Additionally, this course includes two optional 30-minute live help sessions with the assigned instructor, if needed.
