Sea License "Hauturier"

The advantage is that it is much cheaper than the Swiss sea license and does not require validation of nautical miles.

We train you to be able to study alone (practical exercises) for 8 hours in the Lausanne region. During this part, we see the map exercises together (positioning, compass heading, deviation, alignments, surface course, current and bottom course). Also, we are working on the tide calculations. In parallel and then, you train alone with the exercises available in the course material (fifteen hours of self-study in total allow you to take the exam with confidence). For the exam, you present yourself as a free candidate in Lyon, which is the closest, then receive your offshore license within 6 weeks (a provisional authorization is sent if you pass the exam).
