Navigation Course
Posted by bollinsl on December 29, 2008
I order to improve my sailing / navigation skills, I enrolled in the Navigation (I.S.A. Costal Certificate) course in Ringsend Technical Institute.
The course cost €330 (including examination fee) and they take credit cards. Classes take place over 22 weeks, from 22 September 2008, on Mondays from 19.00 – 21.15.
The classes take place in an engineering lab, with a nice view over the Liffey.
Coffee and a biscuit costs €2. Tea is €1.50.
I already hold:
- the National Powerboat Certificate (Level 2) (2005),
- having attended a course in the Irish Youth Sailing Club / School and Oceandivers in Dún Laoghaire, and
- the ISA Start Sailing (Level 1) and Basic Skills (Level 2) certificates (2006)
- having attended Glenans Irish Sailing Club Baltimore Bay course in Baltimore, West Cork, and
- Radio Operator’s Short Range Certificate of Competency (2008)
