  I have recently completed the STCW course with Seascope France and thoroughly enjoyed the entire week of training. I am grateful for the outstanding instruction provided by Ged and Jason, whose professionalism and expertise really enhanced the learning experience, both Ged and Jason went above and beyond with the training, bringing their experiences in and in general really looked out for the whole class, I would definitely recommend Seascope France if you are looking to complete any courses

  Just finished my PSSR, PSA, and EFA courses with Jason and it was a great experience. Even though I had already done the RYA First Aid, I still learned a lot with a different, very hands-on perspective. What really stood out were the real-life stories he shared from his time as a firefighter and first responder.
  They made the training feel more grounded and relevant, and helped us understand why these skills matter. He was confident, clear, and kept the group engaged the whole time. Definitely recommend him!

  I attended the STCW Basic Safety Training at Seascope Maritime Training last week, and it was a fantastic experience. The facilities were top-notch, the instructors exceptionally skilled, and the office staff highly professional and helpful. Highly recommend—thanks for a great training experience!

  I attended a one day course BST, but it was enough to appreciate the professionalism and very good manners of the trainers, particularly Ged in my case, and the top facilities. Very nice!

  I did the RYA Motorboat Level 2 course.
  The course did everything I expected, even more enjoyably than I expected it to.
  The course was rigorous but still managed to be lots of fun (mainly due to Sammi's sense of humour). Due to Sammi's experience in the real world of boating, we also got a lot of extra knowledge that normally isn't in the course.
  Even though the classroom lessons were above and beyond the standard fare there was plenty of practical boat driving experience too.
  Repetition is the key to learning. We got to practice our manoeuevers enough that the lessons sank in, and had a good laugh while doing it.
  The boat was modern, safe and really fast (apart from when I drove it).
  Heartily recommend.

  A great team of people and professional training. I truly enjoyed the course of STCW. The teacher was thorough, serious, friendly and entertaining. Staff was helpful with all questions and course information prior to attending. I can't recommend enough this company for anything regarding Seafaring. I will be taking more in the future for sure. Thank you!

  Did day skipper theory online through seascope. I passed it. I really recommend doing this course if you re on your way to any type of yachtmaster or you just want to start boating. They are very responsive and they even send you a chart plotter and some dividers in a very nice case with other studying materials.
  Thank you very much Seascope for all the support.

  I thoroughly enjoyed the BST training with Seascope. The instruction was top-notch, thanks to Ged, an exceptional firefighter with a wealth of experience and captivating stories. Beyond his professional expertise, Ged is a remarkable human being. From the moment we met him, his sense of humor and engaging teaching style made us want to listen for hours. He ensures that every student absorbs the material, going above and beyond to provide us with the essential knowledge we need to apply in real-life situations.
  
  In addition to receiving both Basic Safety Training (BST) and Security Awareness (SA) at the same time, the hands-on practice was both enjoyable and insightful. It gave us a real sense of what to expect in real-life scenarios and helped reinforce the theoretical aspects of the course.

  Had a very good experience with Seascope. They were very helpful at the office and explained everything clearly.
  During the course Max gave more then the necessary information and had some very good insights on how to use different techniques in the yachting industry.

  Ged is the best instructor for STCWs! He was full of stories and made the topics more interesting and engaging. Very experienced and witty. He makes people want to do well, and is very patient guiding everyone along, even when some course mates were distracted or resistant.
  
  Did my refresher for PST and FPFF here, and Anastasia made it so effortless to register. Instructions were really clear, and everything handled professionally. Highly recommended!

  Outstanding Boating Training at Seascope France!
  
  I recently completed a boating course with Seascope France, and it was an exceptional experience! Our instructor, Max, was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly engaging, making the learning process both fun and informative. The training was highly professional with a well-structured educational model that encouraged lots of interaction between the instructor and the students. Along with my two fellow classmates, I gained a wealth of practical skills and theoretical knowledge.
  
  Max's approach to teaching, blending theory with hands-on practice, was particularly effective. He ensured that every student was involved, understood the material, and was comfortable handling a boat. I'm impressed by how much we learned in such a short time, and I feel confident in my boating skills after this course.
  
  If you're considering obtaining a boating license, I highly recommend Seascope France. Whether you're a beginner or looking to polish your skills, this course is perfect. Thanks to Max and Seascope France for such a fantastic learning experience!

  I would 100% argue that Seascope France is the best Yacht training school in France! The experience and knowledge I obtained through their courses is invaluable.
  
  The instructors are people I'm so grateful to have met, and won't easily forget. Not that I'd ever want to! Anastasia (Seascope's Course Assistant) was amazing and super helpful from the start! She helped me with loads of questions regarding the courses and was never anything but patient and kind. I have completed five courses with Seascope so far (Yacht Steward/ess Training, Deckhand training, RYA Powerboat and PWC, and STCW), but have already applied to complete another with them, online (PDSD)! I will for sure be completing any future training with them- I cannot recommend Seascope France enough.
  
  Their courses contain course material and practical experience that is well structured and thorough enough to prepare any greeny (person with no experience in the yachting industry) for a successful future. Even though the courses are short (sadly so), you learn so much! The fact that they are internationally recognised and MCA approved puts my mind at ease- knowing I don't have to worry about my certificates being acknowledged.
  
  Faith (Stew training) was a fantastic instructor and I feel really well-equipped with the knowledge I learnt from her!
  Ged (STCW) was super competent and a really amazing teacher. I feel confident in myself and my abilities in emergencies, and life in general, thanks to him.
  Max (RYA Powerboat and PWC) was a really fun and clever teacher. He made the experience of getting my boating licence an enjoyable one, even in really tough weather conditions!
  Sammi (deck training) was super smart and really fun to be around I thoroughly enjoyed my hands-on experience on her boat, and everything I learnt from her will make me a better deckhand in the future.
  
  Overall, my experience with Seascope France is one I will forever look back on with fondness! I met some amazing people (teachers and peers) who I am grateful to know, and gained knowledge and experience that has prepared me amazingly well for my career in the yachting industry.
  
  For any aspiring yacht crew: If you are looking to do any training to prepare for or better your experience in yachting, I would definitely recommend Seascope France. You'd be in the best of hands!
  
  To the Seascope France Team: I cannot thank you enough for everything! You have made me proud to be entering the industry. I look forward to putting everything I've learnt to use. I will definitely be back! =)

  Just came back after 10 days spent in Antibes doing my STCW and a Deckhand course with Sea Scope and I couldn't be happier, I'm very new to the Yachting industry and I really had no clue on what to do but Sophie and Anastasia were simply amazing, from the very beginning they helped me relax and they were so patient with my many questions or doubts, they went above and beyond to what their duty it's supposed to be, easing up the process for me to get there and they made sure I had the best experience possible while there, you can clearly see that they really love what they do and that they really care about their students.
  
  Special mention to Ged the teacher of the STCW course, he's the best teacher I've ever seen in my life and an extraordinarious human being, his way to teach it's not really like studying but it's more like a journey into the knowledge that you need and the way how he's sharing it with you makes it so interesting that you can't wait to get to know more and more and the journey continues with the many stories he will tell you of his personal experiences of his incredible life while at the same time giving you the opportunity to share stories of your own life, during the days you spend with him he will make you feel always more aware of the seriousness of what he's teaching you allowing you at the same time to grow confidence in what you will need to face till the day of the fire practice where he did his best to be there for everyone, in the end this 5 days are a journey into yourself and thanks to Ged I feel that I didn't just learned knowledge but that I've become a better person, Ged he's simply amazing and the way he teaches you cannot be taught, he's just naturally this way!
  
  I will forever reccomend them and will definitely go back to do more courses with them if I will be able to.

  Did my STCW with Ged and PB2 with Max last week. Ged was great, really engaging and made the 5 days of class enjoyable - especially the fire training days. Max was also awesome, he made sure everyone understood all the rules and made sure we were safe when going out on a boat. When we went out on the boat he is a great teacher and made it so much fun. Super informative but also a good laugh. Definitely recommend Seascope for anyone doing their courses

  I did my stcw, power boat level 2 and jet ski licence with seascope this year and honestly couldn't reccomend a better place to do these courses! Firstly I want to thank Jed he is an amazing teacher, he made me feel so safe and comfortable during our practical lessons fighting fires and also kept our theory enjoyable, he has a unique way of teaching that kept my focus and made me want to keep learning! Secondly Sammi was so patient and calm teaching me my pb2 and pwc course she gave me the confidence I needed to believe in myself and start my career...Thirdly the price is unbeatable, I did alot of research on where in the world to do these courses and Seascope france had the best value!
  Thank you all so much for having me, I'll always be back for my refreshers and future courses!

  A very thorough refresher course. Jedd, our instructor was kind, considerate, professional, and entertaining- a bonus. Fire fighting in the hills of Nice was intense and we gained firsthand experience with all of the necessary circumstances we might find ourselves in. The sea survival at the local Antibes pool was also rigorous and thorough, and I came away with confident updates in my knowledge of how to prepare for both circumstances, which was exactly what the course was designed for. Thank you to the whole team!

  I took the powerboat level 2 course with Sammi as the instructor. It was a truly outstanding experience. We practised the important maneuvers a lot and it was my first time on a motorboat on the sea. We practised navigation and acting as a team on the boat. Apart from a lot of practise there was a necessary bit of theory. Sammi is a great instructor, demanding and motivating at the same time. Her course is of very high level. I warmly recommend this school and Sammi for powerboat courses.

  Seascope Antibes was the perfect place to the Powerboat level 2 course.
  
  Pete was a fantastic instructor, he is very experienced, gave tons of highly valuable tips and advice with an on water, hands on focus. He assessed each participant and gave personal instructions to build confidence as we went through each procedure. The wind in Antibes varied a lot over the 2 days so we practised in calm as well as moderate and changing wind directions which was absolutely invaluable.
  
  Pete was always happy to respond to any questions or concerns whether in the classroom, on the boat or walking along the dock.
  
  Doing the course in a small group (4) was the best way to go, everyone was motivated and from very different backgrounds. We went through every procedure together, learned from each other, enjoyed sharing lunch, a few laughs and even a beer at the end of the day.
  
  The range of RYA courses to further build your skills lets you move easily in a career or recreational direction. For me next up is VHF radio use and navigation.

  Seascope is absolutely the place to go if you are looking for STCW training or other trainings. Anastasia was so helpful and knowledgeable, she helped me over the phone to pick the right dates for me as I wanted to do the STCW + PWC/Jet ski package, she was very patient and understanding and I was very impressed by her professionalism and friendly manner over the phone.
  
  Ged the STCW instructor was absolutely brilliant! He is very passionate about his work, very knowledgeable and made the courses very engaging and interactive. He’s a wonderful human, he made everyone feel welcome and was very patient with all our questions! Will absolutely love to do my refresher with him in 5 years.
  
  Sammi the Powerboat L2 and PWC/Jet Ski instructor was amazing! She made the course fun and enjoyable. The practical parts were very engaging and she was very patient and confident which made me feel confident behind the wheel! She is very knowledgeable and passionate about her work. She’s a fantastic human and I would love to do more courses with her!
  
  Sophie helped me with my final payment before I started the course when I arrived and has been very helpful throughout the entire time while completing all my courses.

  Seascope France was an experience like no other. I participated in the STCW, the GUEST Interior and the Crowd Management/Human Behaviour courses. I can confidently say if you are a Greenie with no idea what to expect, this is the course for you. At the end of my courses, my trainer put my name forward and helped me get a job within 1 day of finishing. The team at Seascope really are dedicated to helping us succeed. Couldn't rate them highly enough. Thank you Ged and Faith! You are both legends and I hope to see you in the future. As for the Greenies out there, it's worth it!

  Amazing experience with both the STCW and GUEST interior training courses. Ged was an engaging and extremely thorough instructor for the STCW who kept the classroom environment fun and friendly. I love that Seascope goes above and beyond when safety training. Faith was my instructor for the GUEST training; With her extensive background in yachting, pleasant personality and insider industry tips made for a well-rounded, fun course. The biggest plus with Seascope compared to other maritime schools is the amount of hands on training. The instructors want for you to thoroughly understand and master the course objectives and truly want the best for you. Overall an amazing few weeks at Seascope in beautiful Antibes!
