点评:I have just spent 2 days doing a Helmsman course, which I passed. The way the course was delivered, integrating my role with Skipper trainees, worked well and added value to the course, learning not just from the trainer but also from those with more experience and within a team.
The waves got pretty big during the 2 days and it proved to be a genuine experience that helped to stretch the group a bit more than perhaps they were expecting. The course itself is a very good introduction to anyone thinking of buying a boat or living on one (as I am planning to do) and provides a great reality check on what to expect when out on the river.
The trainer (Fergus) has a very good "trainer quality", giving clear instruction, being calm under pressure and working with his trainees as opposed to be overly directive or loud. This was aptly illustrated on the second day when the waves were particularly high, waves crashing over the bow and soaking the whole boat, giving his trainees scope to pilot the boat as a team and only stepping in when he really needed to, helping to add confidence and experience to the trainees.
I would recommend Edinburgh Marine Academy and I will be taking some further courses with them as a result of my experience over the last 2 days.
翻译:我刚刚完成了为期两天的舵手课程,并顺利通过。课程的授课方式将我的角色与船长学员融为一体,效果非常好,也为课程增添了价值,我不仅能从培训师那里学习,还能从经验丰富的学员和团队中学习。
两天的海浪很大,事实证明,这是一次真正的体验,帮助大家比预想的更有挑战性。对于任何想买船或在船上生活(就像我计划的那样)的人来说,这门课程本身都是一个很好的入门课程,它能让我更好地了解在河上航行时应该注意什么。
培训师(Fergus)的“培训师素质”非常好,他指导清晰,在压力下保持冷静,并与学员们合作,而不是过度指挥或大声喧哗。第二天,海浪格外汹涌,海浪拍打着船头,整艘船都湿透了,这充分体现了他的能力。他让学员们有机会团队合作驾驶船只,并且只在真正需要的时候才会介入,这有助于增强学员们的信心和经验。
我会推荐爱丁堡海洋学院,根据过去两天的经验,我还会继续学习他们的一些课程。
