Course Approach
Early access to the e learning prevents cramming of information and this pre loading of course material ensures a deeper knowledge base. This method then enables your tuition sessions to be a lot more interactive. Barry focus on situational awareness and critical thinking which are key elements of your oral exam.
In addition, another benefit of blended learning, is the reduced number of individual tuition sessions required which help reduce costs. On average, candidates with this approach, have between, 10-26 hours. However, every candidate is individual , so the number of hours can increase or decrease as required.
With our blended learning model, or technology reinforces your face to face or Microsoft Teams tutorials and enables you to remain engaged wherever you are at whatever pace you chose. The e learning academy houses over 40 modules and maps the MCA syllabus thus, providing you with all the necessary key information to pass your exam
How Do I Use Blended Learning
Step 1
Start e learning. Ideally 1-3 months before your exam. The course can be completed in a month however, this would require a high level of study commitment each day.
Step 2
Use the provided revision plan to structure your way through the course.
Step 3
We recommend an initial progress Microsoft Teams or face to face session 2-4 weeks after the starting the e learning and then at least another another two or three two hour progress tutorials.
Step 4
Undertake the final face to face or Microsoft Teams sessions and Mock before your exam.
What our candidates say
I cannot recommend Barry Sadler’s online oral preparation and one to one course enough! The online prep is perfectly suited towards candidates working in the maritime industry whom are preparing for their exams whilst still busy working at sea. Thank you Barry and Stephanie for continuing to raise the standards of tuition within the yachting industry and also for vastly enhancing my maritime knowledge!
