THE FORMAT

100% online, self-paced theory

The Curso PER Online is delivered entirely through a virtual campus so students can work through the full theoretical syllabus at their own pace, following a recommended study plan or extending it across the provided access period.

THE CURRICULUM

Complete syllabus aligned with RD 875/2014

The course covers all required modules—safety and first aid, collision regulations (RIPA), navigation and manoeuvre, meteorology, navigation theory and chart exercises—so the online material maps directly to official exam requirements.

THE TOOLKIT

Extensive tests, simulacra and long access

Students get access to an ample bank of test questions and full exam simulacra and a recommended eight‑week study plan, with long-term campus access that lets you repeat exam practice as needed.

What the day feels like

What the course feels like

You move methodically through topic blocks—safety and RIPA, manoeuvre and meteorology, navigation theory and chart work—using topic tests to lock in knowledge and full simulacra to build exam rhythm. An 8‑week recommended plan gives structure, while extended online access lets you stretch the schedule to fit real‑life commitments.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this course suits — and who should look elsewhere.

1
Aspiring skippersIdeal for candidates preparing the PER theoretical exam who want a structured syllabus and extensive test practice; no prior boat license is required.
2
Busy professionalsSuited to people with limited daytime availability—use the recommended 8‑week plan or stretch the program across the full access period to fit irregular schedules.
3
Students & part‑timersGood for learners who need flexible pacing; the online campus and long access let you pause and resume study without losing access to tests and materials.
4
Hands‑on sailors seeking practiceNot a replacement for on‑water training: the course is purely theoretical, so those needing practical instruction or the radio course (ROCA) should book those components separately or upgrade to a Pack PER later.

Frequently asked questions

Planning Your Outing

Can I prepare for the PER exam only with this online course?

Yes. The course provides the full theoretical syllabus, tests and exam simulacra needed to prepare the PER theoretical exam autonomously.

Does the course include practical on‑water training or the radio course (ROCA)?

No. The Curso PER Online is exclusively theoretical and 100% online. Practical sessions and ROCA must be contracted separately or as part of a Pack PER.

How many hours per week should I study?

To follow the recommended 8‑week plan you should aim for roughly 8–10 hours of study per week; if you have less time you can spread the material over the full access period.

What happens if I miss my first exam attempt?

You can continue using the course during the nine months of access to prepare for another exam date and repeat tests and simulacra as often as needed.

Can I later switch to a course or pack that includes live classes and practicals?

Yes. The online course is compatible with Cursos PER Esencial/Completo and Pack PER options; your online materials can serve as the theoretical base if you upgrade.
