Before you hoist the sails or speed off towards the horizon, there’s one challenge: passing the Sailor or Local Master exam. To make sure you arrive on the big day with the confidence of someone who knows what they’re doing, we’ve put together a set of practical strategies that will help you master each stage – without letting stress stir the waters.
THEORY DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A RAGING SEA
TIPS FOR PREPARING
– Read and re-read the RIEAM. Understanding the regulations allows you to answer the exam questions more intuitively – and to navigate much more safely once you’ve graduated;
– Review the safety procedures on board, from mandatory equipment to basic first aid techniques;
– Make short but frequent revisions;
– Take the last few days to simulate previous exams. Practicing with questions similar to the official ones will help you get used to the format and identify topics where you need reinforcement.
– Plan to arrive early to avoid unforeseen events;
