Hi Will,
I have taken that particular course for sailing purposes. It is a fairly intense course if you have not done any nav before and has a lot of information that is not applicable to kayaking. I took it after taking kayaking navigation, and with lots of currents and tides calculation experience and it still took a bit of work. You will spend a lot of time learning about hazards that are critical in sailing like shallow water, navigation aids, and adjusting for both variation and deviation (the latter is not applicable in kayaking). I would not recommend it as an intro to nav for kayaking. SKABC typically offers a Nav course and a Weather course in May, those would be the best start and the most practical. The courses are taught in the field in a hands on environment. Please reach out to our training officer to see when the courses will be posted.
