EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
The objective of CPC
2000 is to teach students the skills necessary to expand
their boating horizons confidently and safely. Whether
it’s for a short weekend trip or an extended cruise,
students learn how to properly prepare for a
voyage into unfamiliar waters on a twin inboard power
vessel. With skills learned in CPC 1000 as a building
block, the Coastal Cruising curriculum teaches critical cruising
elements including piloting and chart navigation, Electronic
charting and Radar, running inlets and handling common emergencies
underway.
Students are then
given the opportunity to put their newly learned skills to
the test with specially structured underway exercises aboard
one of Chapman School's training vessels. The program
includes approximately 26 hours of "hands-on" training
simulating the types of real world situation encountered
while underway.
This course is
specifically deigned for serious boaters who want to
increase their cruising skills in a fun, practical and hands
on learning environment. Each class is taught by U.S. Coast
Guard licensed, professional instructors through Chapman
School’s unique “Learn at the Helm” approach.
Class size, on board,
is limited to five students to maximize individual attention
and instruction while underway.
CPC 2000 provides the
foundation for the more advanced curricula found in the CPC
3000 and CPC 4000 certification
levels.
