Frequently asked questions
Is SailQuiz free?
Yes — create a free account and start quizzing immediately. Free includes all core courses and quizzes with basic progress tracking. For mock exams, spaced repetition, and detailed explanations, upgrade to Premium.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. The website is fully responsive on phones, tablets, and desktops. We also have a dedicated native iOS app on the App Store — a separate, fully offline product (no account needed) for studying without a connection.
Is this an official sailing certification course?
No. SailQuiz is an independent study tool — not affiliated with or endorsed by any certifying body (RYA, ASA, USCG, or others). Our quizzes complement your coursework but do not replace formal training or certification.
Does SailQuiz work for US sailors?
Yes. Our courses cover universally applicable sailing theory — COLREGS, navigation, weather, tides, and VHF radio are the same worldwide. The content maps to topics tested in ASA, USCG, and NASBLA certifications, not just RYA.
How does quiz-first learning work?
Test yourself first, then learn from the feedback. This approach (retrieval practice) helps knowledge stick longer than passive reading or watching videos. Research consistently shows it boosts long-term retention.
What courses are available?
Three courses: Sailing Foundations (beginner basics), Day Skipper Theory (coastal navigation, tides, COLREGS, weather, and more — equivalent to ASA 103-105 topics), and Marine Radio (VHF operation, DSC, distress procedures, GMDSS). More courses added regularly.
What is Day Skipper Theory?
Day Skipper is an intermediate sailing certification covering coastal navigation, tides, weather, COLREGS, and seamanship. Our Day Skipper Theory course covers these same universal topics — useful whether you're studying for RYA, ASA, or just want to understand coastal sailing.
Can I use it for exam prep?
Yes. SailQuiz covers the core theory topics tested in sailing certifications worldwide. Use the mastery tracker to know exactly when you're exam-ready. The Sailing Foundations course is great for anyone just starting out.
