Boat Leader Category B Course
VR Training + Practice | Skipper4You

Experience VR training and pass with ease

As part of the Skipper4You Skipper Academy, based on more than 20 years of experience in nautical activities, we organize a professionally guided Boat Leader Category B Course.
The program combines theoretical lessons, practical vessel handling training, and state-of-the-art VR and AR navigation simulation technology.

Modern learning approach — VR & AR technology

In our training, we use VR simulators, AR technology, and a VR Classroom that allow you to practice real-life situations without risk.

Scientific research confirms:

  • up to 70% faster knowledge acquisition
  • up to 80% better long-term memory

This means safer boat handling and better preparation for the exam.

The training is led by certified skipper-instructors with extensive nautical, educational, and instructional experience.

We work in small groups (3–5 participants) to ensure better interaction, personalized training, and safe progress for each participant.
