Sailing courses

At the CNAM Sailing School, we operate in accordance with the Standard system, which is regulated by the Escola Catalana de Vela (Catalan Sailing School) and applied in all recognised sailing schools.
The Standard system encompasses all sailing disciplines and specialities.
It consists of different levels of skills and competencies, each of which is identified by a colour. As students master the requisite skills and knowledge at each level, they obtain a certificate in their “student passport” which is accepted at all the recognised schools in Catalonia.
