Apply the PER for free:

The exams for nautical qualifications are public and it is not compulsory to take classes in person or online.

The PER's face-to-face classes have the advantage of forcing the candidate to follow the lessons constantly in an academy. The teachers will help you with the syllabus, the exercises and our academy will take care of all the bureaucratic procedures.

The possibility of studying the PER online allows the student to make schedules more flexible and adapt the lesson calendar. A tutor teacher will follow you during the learning process and will help you solve the most common questions.

There is also the possibility of studying and taking the PER on your own, buying the manuals, downloading the tests from previous sessions, paying the registration fees and showing up on the day of the exam. This modality has an economic advantage, because it is possible to save the costs of the course. In order to validate the PER on your own, it will be necessary to carry out the approved motor and sailing practices (the latter if sailing qualification is required). The disadvantage is that the student does not have the support of the teachers who can help solve any doubts.
