Nautic Ed provides a challenging curriculum with an incremental progression that is very well suited to a beginner/Intermediate sailor. I have taken many on line courses and it is disheartening when the testing is not challenging. Nautical-Ed's open book approach engages the student, reinforces the chapter content by providing an opportunity for critical thinking as well as informational recall.

The animated illustrations and diagrams were great to help me understand the concepts presented. Reading through all the rules was pretty dry, but the subsequent discussions and animated illustrations made it real and easy to digest.
