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. SailQuiz provides independent supplementary practice for universal sailing topics such as navigation, weather, and international collision regulations. It is not an ASA, US Sailing, USCG, or NASBLA-approved course and does not replace required instruction or certification.

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?

Browse Sailing Foundations for beginner basics, Day Skipper Theory for coastal navigation and seamanship, Marine Radio for VHF procedures, plus other published courses in the course catalog. Availability and access are shown on each course page.

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.
