In this phase, face-to-face training in classrooms can be resumed, although the distance of two meters between students must be respected.
Navigation practices can also be carried out to obtain recreational nautical qualifications. In these, the personal limitations foreseen for this phase must be respected, and hygiene and protection measures will be adopted, with the use of masks being highly recommended, especially on board boats where social distancing cannot be guaranteed. The boats will be periodically disinfected and sanitized.
EXAMS
In principle, and due to the state of alarm, the planned exams have been canceled, although it has already been published in the BOE that "To the extent possible, the organizers of the exams should assess the possibility of calling extraordinary exams to compensate for the calls that have had to be canceled in the first semester".
Based on this official publication, the nautical academies of the Canary Islands have sent a letter to the General Directorate of Fisheries of the Government of the Canary Islands, suggesting a series of calls and dates for holding exam calls for Yacht Skipper and Captain in Tenerife, and PER and PNB in Lanzarote, Tenerife and Gran Canaria.
