I have just finished a 2 day course. I have a relatively new boat with modern equipment and wanted to come away with practical skills and knowledge.
The standard of handouts was poor and the teaching style haphazard and unfocused without a clear syllabus.
The trainer is only familiar with older simple systems. NEMA networks were not covered and for example he had never heard of a combined tank and electric display such as a phillipi or simarine poco.
I can now look for and find faulty equipment and short circuits and rewire faults but that’s about it. If you have a boat built in the past 15 years or so this is not the course for you.

Diesel Engine Maintenance L1&2. Good content, good instruction, knowledgeable teacher with loads of relevant experience. Practical sessions on the engines were so much better than staring at a schematic diagram or YouTube vid. Proper hands on teaching.

Friendly, experienced and helpful trainer, he set an excellent learning vibe with the right pace for the participants on the day. A wide range of engines and other mechanical equipment to work on, good range of tools, small class size = lots of access to the trainer.

The course carries on from RYA Diesel, getting into a bit more detail and focusing on fault finding and resolution. There were two main themes to the day: things to help with fault finding, and things to help with routine maintenance. This worked perfectly for me and what I wanted from the day.

At one point the trainer takes a working diesel engine and "breaks it" in various ways. You then get to diagnose and fix it, with support from the trainer. I loved this approach, it really helped me learn.

Very informative, but also engaging instructor

A friendly atmosphere, reasonably well equipped, good instructor, and felt satisfied that most of my expectations and objectives were met. There was a glitch with regards to receiving joining instructions for the day, which I felt could have been sent earlier on and without me having to raise awareness about the lack of info.

Nice team, clear instructions, good facilities. We had Roger for our MCA masters 200 prep week and he was a great instructor/teacher/guru, loads of hugely valuable experience and knowledge and a good laugh

Great experience and nice people. Open conversationsm experience sharing.

Not many centres offer 2 days of preparation & exam alongside an advanced course, so it was great to get it done in a whole week. I am someone who doesn't retain information well if the learning is broken up, so this was perfectly suited to me.
Instructors there are all welcoming, and want you to do well. They know the waters, so well that it makes the learning process easier. Thanks for everything!
Highly recommend!

I completed a powerboat level two instructor course. The course is well planned and professional. Doug was an excellent instructor.

Professional explanation, training and book.

Very professionally run course with first rate instructor. Would highly recommend

The most friendly accommodating training school out there.

Great First aid course delivered today, informative and well run.

Hands on training. Good approach taken by our instructor. I would have liked less on rigging basics and more on the hands on splicing skills.

The learning experience was very good throughout the course as the practical and theory were blended together well. Humour and our own experiences added to the breath of knowledge that we could all learn. Referencing the course notes helped our focus and placed the practical into the appropriate context which enable our tutor to differentiate the material to our needs, keeping us on our toes and engaged. The two boats we used, enabled our confidence to be quickly established, working together navigating and driving the boat, rescuing 'Bob' illustrated in such short period of time how much we had gained in knowledge and technical competence. Many thanks.

Great instructors. Incredibly knowledgeable and professional during the GMDSS course I attended.

Very impressed by Alan's way of teaching and already looking to book more courses with Chieftain. Very professional and great approach.

It was a real pleasure to spend time at Chieftain Training undertaking my LRC. Alan was a cracking instructor and his knowledge was brilliant but so was his banter, making it a pleasure to be involved in a serious course, but so everyone was included and supported. A great venue with the facilities that were needed.

Professionally run course and Alan was an excellent teacher. Would recommend.

LRC course: v good facility, equipment and Alan was an excellent instructor. The course was comprehensive and enjoyable. Recommended.
