E-learning for boating schools: theory online, practice on board

The qualification is earned through an official multiple-choice theory exam set by the administration. Compulsory practical sessions delivered by the school are also required.

With GestCampus the learner reaches the exam with the syllabus studied and the quizzes done. The school knows who is ready before scheduling the practical sessions.

What the law requires

An official exam and compulsory practice

  • RD 875/2014 — Recreational qualifications. It regulates the navigation licence, basic navigation skipper, recreational boat skipper (PER), yachtmaster and yacht captain, with their syllabus and theory exam.
  • Art. 15 — Practice and radio. Basic safety and navigation practice and the radio communications course are compulsory. They are delivered by recreational boating schools.
  • Art. 16 — Advance notice. The school notifies the administration of each regulated practical session electronically, 48 hours in advance.

Frequently asked questions

Does GestCampus replace the official exam or the practical sessions?

No. The administration sets the theory exam and the practical sessions take place on board with the school. GestCampus prepares the theory part and keeps a record of the study.

Can I use my own quizzes?

Yes. The school loads its question banks by topic and each attempt draws different questions.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. The campus adapts to any screen: learners can review from home, the marina or the boat.
