A sailing instructor teaching a student

Apply to become a NauticEd Instructor here. NauticEd is the only sailing education certifying body in the United States that is recognized by the US Coast Guard and NASBLA. Certifications and Licenses issued by NauticEd are accepted by yacht charter companies and port authorities worldwide - including "the official list" with Croatia.

NauticEd's philosophy is one of "Competence before Certification". We have developed 21st century tools for students to learn the theory and for instructors to train and assess your students' practical skills. Certifying a student for practical competence after assessment now becomes incredibly simple ... just login to your NauticEd portal, find your student, click on which level you deem them practically competent and viola - it's done. Your student's logbook resume is automatically updated. NauticEd makes it simple!

Note: to be approved by NauticEd you will be required to

Review the course material
Understand the NauticEd hierarchy of Ranks and Levels
Sign a competence commitment document
Pass our online Transformational Instructor course
Pass a peer review of your skills

This will take some investment of your time. Upon completion, you will be qualified under the American National Standards EDU-3 as a professionally recognized sailing instructor.

My Bad-Ass Sailing Instructor Profile
This makes me who I am and why I'm so good at sailing and teaching sailing.

Your students will see this before they get on the boat with you. It works to establish your credibility and authority on the boat when instructing. Make no typos. Use professional language. Run it by your peers.
