Michael Dawson
Staff are great (bar staff included) the knowledge they have is absolutely unreal. No stone is left unturned during the STCW course. An amazing week meeting new people from all walks of life with a common goal to work on the water in one capacity or another. The living areas were well maintained and you are left to your own devices at your days end but there is always staff around just incase. Anyone thinking of doing STCW or any other course will feel welcome and at home I’m no time at all. Thank you to all the staff for their hard work during the week

I would not recommend this because one of the staff was picking on kids so much and was really mean I hope that something could be done about this and it's unclean and the wetsuits stink so much. Thank you I hope someone could do something about this and the member of staff there KJ.

UKSA has a good name and it’s really a great place to do your training. Dorms are somewhat old, but I didn’t mind actually. Great people, great bar.
Tyler Russell
Had a pretty good time, some of the activities were a bit rubbish but I think they were designed for younger children. Overall, decent place

Great range of courses, I did my PIT residential for three months and had an amazing time. Sailing, windsurfing, kayaking and safety boat certified. Staff were always professional and willing to help out and the facilities are world class.
