STARPATH: Inland and Costal Navigation Online Home Study Course Includes printed textbook, workbook, and training chart, and multiple additional electronic resources. Can be acccessed from any computer with an internet connection. Use the search engines and online resources on the computer, while you work through the lessons, assignments and quizzes in the interactive online classroom. And when you are away from the computer, study with the printed texts, and paper chart. Most important, however, with this versatile package you can learn both traditional and electronic navigation at the same time — solve the practice problems in the traditional manner on a paper chart with standard plotting tools and also solve the problems electronically in an echart program using waypoints, bearing lines, and range rings.

STARPATH: Emergency Navigation: Online Home Study Course This course covers all aspects of navigation with limited instruments and aids or none at all. It is intended for power, sail, or paddle driven vessels, or even back-country travelers — indeed, many if not most of the techniques are much easier on land than they are at sea. All of the background knowledge and procedures that were assumed or taken for granted in our other courses must now be mastered. Without our conventional instruments, we must get by on our knowledge alone. This course assumes some basic nav skills such as reading and plotting Lat and Lon on a chart or plotting sheet, plotting courses using range and bearing and so on. Speed-time-distance computations are also used. There is some short practice of this in Lesson 1. We also introduce and practice with Pilot charts in that Lesson. In a sense, "emergency navigation" can be thought of as "advanced navigation," in that we expect to know the basics (which we review in this course), and then expand these to cover special cases, and to solve problems when some or all of our customary tools are missing. The structure of this course follows the text Emergency Navigation by David Burch. Each chapter is a lesson in which we work out examples of the procedures discussed and in some cases prove general statements made without proof in the book. Starpath School of Navigation has remained the world leader in this subject for over 30 years. You will receive: Printed Textbook: Emergency Navigation more info...

STARPATH: Marine Weather Online Home Study Course About The Course This course covers all aspects of practical marine weather, starting from the very basics and ending with all you need to plan your voyages — or weekend outings — safely and efficiently taking into account the weather. This is intended to be a practical course that will indeed affect your decision making when planning and underway. We only cover those aspects of the "theory" that will help us with this goal. This course uses live weather data accessed through custom Internet links to illustrate many of the topics it covers. We will also monitor a hypothetical coastal or ocean passage at the time of the course to see how the real world evolved and what decisions might be best at the time.
