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

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.
