There are lots of good drawings to help understand the different possible scenarios. The explanation of the rules is clear and easy to understand. The ability to take the test (or the course) every year as a refresher is extremely helpful.

Some of the info was presented in ways I had not seen before (i.e. the kite surfing example of crossing a power boat).
I enjoy the friendship of quite a few sailors. I don't hesitate to recommend your Nauticed courses to them. The main value of the courses are that it provides a platform on which one anticipates scenarios at sea. Prior thinking and planning is key to safety in my view.
