Completed the RYA Yachtmaster Offshore Theory course.
Excellent training set up, clear, well-organized.
Helpful feedback. Definitely recommend.

Honestly can’t fault this. Excellent course content (use of video brought the whole thing to life for me) and amazing service in terms of support from the team. Hugely recommended.

Really enjoyed the day skipper course, videos were very engaging and the content was delivered in just the right pace for me. Would definitely recommend it.

Many thanks for the fantastic course. I really enjoyed it! I think your online course with videos is much better than any in-person theory course, as the videos on the boat and in the sailing environment are much more engaging than any classroom session could ever be. Also, it allows taking the lessons is a less compressed way with time to reflect and read about the subject. The mock exam provides good practice for the real one. Also, the team was always very quick to respond to any questions via the chat, and with the correction of the exam. This made a quite complicated topic easy and enjoyable to learn   -- Holger Claussen

Really clear videos and materials to help learning. Also super responsive team / feedback to any queries - totally great!

Great videos and explanations throughout the course. Plenty of assessments and knowledge checks to consolidate your learning plus a mock exam before the final. Quick responses from the team for any doubts/questions.

Ardent makes large volumes of complicated material accessible. Their positive attitude helps student morale quite a lot. I took their prep course and then passed the exam. What more can you ask?

I just completed my Yacht Master theory course I would recommend Ardent to anyone. There informal, slightly unpolished presentation by people who know what they are talking about really worked for me. Their response to questions and exam feedback was fast and good.

Hey Ardent training - I loved the course, it was probably the best way for me to learn, as in a live classroom I'd never be able to makes notes quick enough ha ha. There was a great blend of visuals, explanation and mini tests to keep me on my toes. The team presenting were very professional and highly knowledgeable, but also funny and entertaining at points. I liked the fact most of the videos were actually on their yacht, so it felt very practical. I would highly recommend anyone considering a day skipper course to go with Ardent Training. Regards Dave

I have just successfully completed the RYA Coastal Skipper and Yachtmaster Offshore Theory course with Ardent Training. Course content was through and very-well put together combining easy-to-understand text and visuals, coupled with accompanying videos. But what sets this outfit above the rest is the quality and attitude of its instructors who are always on-hand, respond to queries in seconds and provide superb advise and guidance that helps you understand things until they stick. I will recommend Ardent Training to everyone considering taking RYA courses

The training material was first class with videos of the instructors presenting and demonstrating the theory that forms the syllabus of the training course.
There are regular knowledge checks and module reviews through the course, which help to ensure that I as the candidate was fully understanding the content.
Instructors gave prompt and clear feedback on the module reviews, mock exam and final exam.
I would recommend Ardent Training to anyone looking for online RYA theory courses.

The delivery of this training through a combination of written material and video is fantastic. It allows you to learn at your own pace and the approach to communicating the key concepts was exceptional. Live support was always available and very helpful.

This course was recommended to me and I am very pleased I followed this advice. A great course, everything explained very clearly with a great choice of slide/text presentation, exercises plus extra resources and tools and helpful Q&A. Very quick response time to questions. Although they mention during working days I also got a very fast response on Saturday evening and Sunday. For distance learning you never feel you are on your own. I don't think you will find a better on-line Day Skipper theory course. Highly recommend.

Great depth and accessibility of the material, amazing world of knowledge put in the most interactive form. 10 out of 10 to the guys

Ardent Training are amazing.
From the incredible support and advice from instructors, to the course material and exams, everything was just brilliant- I would highly recommend.

This is my secord course with Ardent training and I continue to be impressed by the quality of instruction. The lessons are presented clearly and at a manageable pace unlike some on site tuition which can seem like cramming. Being able to pace yourself and go over and lessons again is very helpful. The presentation on board Mipha gives the instruction a certain authenticity, especially with real life examples as part of the learning experience.
Feedback from the instructors is quick and helpful and the regular live video events by the instructors give a "classroom/lecture" experience.
I'd recommend using Ardent for your RYA theory courses if like me you can't easily attend on site instruction. Study at a pace that suits you. The courses are not an easy option and the course assessments genuinely test your understanding. Taking and courses will definitely improve confidence, knowledge and skills.

An excellent online course with experienced sailors. Really interesting. I’m sticking with it (have abandoned an online course on the past !)

Fantastic videos, very clear instructions , and excellent response times

It was a very well laid out course (RYA Day Skipper), with plenty of examples and exercises, and a good balance of text, images and videos. Most importantly, the instructors were very responsive to any comments or questions I had, and I am happy to give the course top marks.

I took my Day Skipper Theory course with Ardent over the Christmas holiday period, taking my time to do 1-2 hours every morning for a month - I THOROUGHLY enjoyed it. Charly, Ed and others were easy to listen to, with flexible learning visuals, slides explaining the content and/or listening/watching them explain on video. They did this from their yacht, Mipha, which made me feel ‘in it’ and more eager to learn. The content was broken down into easy size chunks and knowledge checks and assessments at the end, which I found really helpful as I got almost realtime feedback from one of the Ardent Instructors so I could reapply the knowledge for better understanding. Overall, I would highly recommend Ardent Training - they are ‘real’, professional, thorough and make it fun to learn, all the while the knowledge is sticking so I can recall Ed or Charley’s voice when I do my practical Day Skipper in a few weeks time. Thank You Ardent :)
