An 8-hour, theory-focused course from Greenwich Náutica that combines online self-study with live classes (in Madrid or by videoconference) to prepare you for the official PNB exam.
Intensive PNB Theory: Eight Hours to Focused Nautical Knowledge in Madrid.
The Curso PNB 8h Intensivo condenses the theoretical backbone of the Patrón para la Navegación Básica into a concentrated, instructor-led format. Designed by Greenwich Náutica, the offering pairs a structured online campus with live classroom sessions — either in-person in Madrid or via videoconference — so candidates can move through the official syllabus efficiently and with targeted exam practice.

Hybrid teaching: online campus plus live instruction
The course blends self-directed study on an online campus with scheduled live classes to review problem areas and run simulated exams, letting students prepare around work or other commitments.
A recommended eight‑week study roadmap
Greenwich Náutica proposes an 8‑week progression that starts with online study and test blocks, then moves to live classes and full mock exams to sharpen timing and identify weaknesses.
Exam-oriented coverage of the most asked topics
Instruction emphasizes the subjects most frequently examined for the PNB — safety, rules, buoyage, maneuvering and meteorology — and prepares students with repeated test practice and clarifying sessions.

The structure is deliberately practical, designed to convert independent study into exam readiness within a planned schedule.
