Ardent Training Opiniões 

Excellent use of video lessons, amazing resources and knowledge checks and module assessments. They care about all their students and make sure you’re prepared to safely manage your boat at sea. Online format lets you review lessons as much as necessary to increase your comprehension for the RYA exams.

I completed the Day Skipper course and passed my exam.
It was a very positive experience.
The course was really well structured and presented, with video and text versions, informal knowledge tests and longer module tests to keep track of progress.
I appreciated the bank of useful resources, in both, document and video format.
The team came across as highly knowledgeable, friendly and very supportive. I was amazed by the speed of response to any queries and when offering feedback.
Highly recommended!

Brilliant curriculum design presenting each module and subsections in both video and text options making it really easy for both learning and revising. Demonstrations, examples, practice exercises and knowledge checks with immediate feedback make learning easy and memorable. The module assessments built confidence going through the course.

The videos of the very friendly and energetic instructors teaching on the boat really helped create a personal connection. The instructors have incredible experience and are very encouraging, supportive, and responsive with immediate feedback for any questions in live chats, discussions and email making online learning really engaging and supportive.

I've done RYA Day Skipper before and now RYA Yachtmaster theory course with Ardent training.
The course is great, the topics very well explained.
After this I had no problem with passing an exam.

The support from whole Ardent team is excellent, they respond within a minutes and are available for any query.

Keep up with the good work, Ardent team!

Excellent course content that can be presented in different formats. Good to have regular quiz sections to check knowledge. Great support throughout the course with excellent additional resources.

The online course is very well laid out, easy to use. Lots of resources provided, everything worked smoothly. The instructors were very helpful and knowledgable

Excellent course, I would highly recommend it. The tutors are super helpful and very quick to respond. The online platform is effective and easy to use

Absolutely brilliant team! Learned more than I imagined. I have now passed my Day Skipper Practical. Highly recommend Ardent Training.

Great team, amazing level of knowledge - content was presented in a relaxed style that promoted positive learning - also made it fun which was great. Thanks Ardent team

Great course, well explained. Instructors easily accessible and responsive (and very patient). Wouldn’t go anywhere else for sailing courses.

As a relatively new boater, I was keen to understand what I was getting into from a theoretical perspective. The Ardent training Yachtmaster Coastal and Offshore course is brilliantly put together. The videos, that go alongside the RYA slides really help explain the concepts. The instructor interaction and feedback was incredibly helpful, and highlighted areas to concentrate on, and the speed of response was first class.
There are also significant resources and hours of video content that help with the course and realistically I will still be using in years to come.
I wish I had found Ardent Training earlier in my theoretical RYA courses, as if I had done my Essential Navigation and Day Skipper with them, I believe it would have been to my benefit.

Just finished my Day Skipper Theory with Ardent Training and couldn't be happier! The course itself is comprehensive and well-structured, using engaging videos and clear explanations that make the tough topics easy to understand. Thoroughly enjoy the course. Plus, the support team is amazing—they are incredibly professional, supportive, and provide feedbacks almost instantly. Highly recommend!

Fantastic course can be done in your own time. Instructors are easy to contact and will be in touch if they see you are struggling with anything. Highly recommended.

I just passed my Yachtmaster theory exam with Ardent Training and can't recommend them highly enough. The course materials are excellent — every topic is covered in real depth, with practical tips that complement the theory nicely. The presenters are genuinely competent and clearly know their subject. Best of all, they're incredibly friendly and responsive online: ask a question and you'll usually have an answer within minutes. A really excellent experience all round.

Ardent training are a highly experienced group of talented young people who are an absolute delight to learn from. They present the tricky, 'Day Skipper' course with an enthusiasm and informed professionalism that is completely unrivalled. The presentation of the video lessons is as entertaining as it is informative and easy to follow and is presented with a warmth and patience that really makes you feel like you're sitting in their classroom. They certainly worked wonders to get this particular land-lubber to pass. And being able to contact one of them in the chat room from 0800 to 2000 every day with any worries or questions was a real Godsend. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone thinking of taking a sailing course, they're worth every penny. A real breath of fresh (sea) air.

What an absolutely amazing course and service.

I have just completed my Day Skipper Theory with Ardent, and have to say, I couldn’t be more impressed.

The course format was excellent and easy to follow. The material was rich in useful content, and really a pleasure to complete.

The support given during the course was outstanding. The team are available throughout the day for assistance, and whenever I reached out, responses were given within minutes.

It’s a very friendly, supportive and professional service.

I sincerely can’t recommend them enough, and I will certainly be back for all future course.

Thanks Ardent.

If you are planning to do your day skipper theory, look no further than Ardent Training online course.

I looked at a range of options whether online or going somewhere in person and chose Ardent. Not only could so I could set my own pace to learn, but I had read so many positives about Ardents course design, delivery and support.

All of the positive reviews were more than backed up by my own experience. The whole team is incredibly supportive, helpful and very quick to respond and help throughout the course whenever you need them - they genuinely make a real difference. Their online capability is easy to follow, and broken into manageable pieces which you can pause and restart whenever it suits you. It also lets you go back over any element whenever you want.

I started the course around 11 November 2025 and passed on Saturday 6 June 2026, and could not have done that without them.

Thank you Ardent.

I don’t have anything bad to say. Everything was well organised. The student pack is amazing, there are many handy tools in it. The knowledge feels also really useful for real world. I might come back for the yacht master course.
I can highly recommend Ardent Training

I have just completed the RYA yachtmaster theory course. I have sailed quite a lot in tidal waters and felt confidant with coastal navigation and chart work but had no other formal training or qualifications other than the VHF SRC. The training material was engaging and easy to cover in small chunks with lots of opportunities to check understanding with quiz questions and more formal assessments with helpful feedback. The tutors were always available (during their working hours) to promptly answer any questions and quickly turn around assessment and exam marking and feedback. The tutors, chat rooms and weekly (optional) live sessions made a really friendly and encouraging environment. Highly recommended.

Really enjoyed my Coastal Skipper theory course with Ardent. It was great to be able to study at home and pace myself in a way that fitted in with family life and other commitments. The video content is of a very high standard. I would recommend Ardent to anybody!
