Chieftain Training Reviews 

Nigel has done an excellent job in balancing real life experience with keeping a focus on working through all the material.
I really enjoyed it.

Recently completed an RYA Sea Survival Course; thoroughly enjoyed the day. It was made fun, interesting, and interactive. The instructor was great; will be using Chieftain for my future training needs.

Carl led my 12 Electrics course. He is a highly knowledgable and enthusiastic instructor able to work with people of different skills, experience and learning styles.

He adapted the material to ensure that each participant had the ability to work on and understand any 'projects' they were considering - whether Solar, primary circuits, automatic bilge pumps with indicators and overrides or just circuit design and fault finding.

Course covered use of tools (strippers, crimpers, ferrules), Techniques (soldering to extend wires and protect them properly) and use of test/measuring equipment.

All of the materials were provided - the test rigs for fault finding were excellent.

Thoroughly Recommended.

Great two days on the water, as an absolute beginner I was quickly driving the boat, had lots of hands on driving time, learned loads of things I will need in the future and feel confident that I can get on the water safely in the future

Great follow on from the RYA day course, more in depth and hands on, really useful course well set out.

The LRC radio course was excellent. Practical, fun and good preparation for the exam.

Brilliant tender operator course hosted by Adam with Chieftain training!Highly recommend

Well run. The instructor kept it interesting while explaining everything

My second course at Chieftain and both have been professionally conducted, great content & delivery in a format that was easy to absorb. Alan was able to remain personable & demonstrated a high level of knowledge in both subject areas 🏆

A good course to do. Ideal if you're going for your CoC

Great course, would highly recommend

Doug's Advanced Powerboat Instructors Course truly stands out as an exceptional experience. He tailored the material precisely to the participants' skill levels, ensuring we acquired the necessary knowledge to become competent instructors. His vast expertise clearly shines through in his teaching.

Carl our instructor has a broad range of experience within the yachting industry as well as being a a very experienced marine electrician.
The 2 days are packed with challenges getting your head around marine electrics and also boat systems and how all this is put together to make boat electrical systems work. The use of the multimeter, clamp metre and soldering were extremely beneficial even for those who had some knowledge

A very worthwhile 2 days and i will feel a lot more confident when i next start fault finding on a yacht,

Really knowledgeable instructors

The Kennett &Avon Canal Trust, have used Chieftain Training for our First Aid training for a number of years, the reason for this is that they offer and deliver a fantastic service. Simply the best.

Great content, great facilities, great instructor - what's not to like!

Comfortable learning environment, comprehensive material, students from a variety of backgrounds and a friendly inclusive approach all contributed to an excellent course.

Thanks

Alan, our instructor, is highly knowledgeable, dynamic, and enthusiastic. He made a long and challenging course an engaging and rewarding experience.

Great cause, well experienced instructors, loads of practical experience and exercises.

Advanced Powerboat Instructors Course. Another excellent course, delivered by Doug. Pitched at the right level for the students on the course and delivering what we needed to know to become effective instructors, based on his obviously extensive experience.

The trainer was very relaxed and happy to cover topics not necessarily on the curriculum which was useful. Fault finding live engine issues was great practice. Plenty of hands on.
