Easy-peasy
Great news! We’ve made choosing the right Coracle course for you or your company as easy as pie. By asking specific questions about your learning requirements, our specially-designed Course Selector Decision Engine pinpoints the study options most appropriate to meet your needs.
Whether they are for one-day training options in commercial shipping or emissions trading, Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers registration, English learning courses, or specialised Diplomas for you or your company, our Decision Engine will find the right learning solution for you.
Who, what, where…
We’ve made it even easier for you to keep up-to-date with everything going on in Coracle’s world. Follow our Twitter blog at http://twitter.com/coracle to find out when the latest podcasts are added and to discover exclusive special offers on our courses.
Described as the “telegraph system of Web”, Twitter keeps you informed through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?
Running dry
With Dry Cargo Chartering, Economics of Sea Transport and Legal Principles TutorShip course books STILL out of print, Coracle’s eLearning solutions offer an oasis to thirsty students - you don’t need the course books if you study through Coracle, as we have all the information online!
As the books are not expected to be available until November at the earliest, Coracle offers an easy route to get started in study for those three subjects. Of course, you don’t need to restrict yourself to those three subjects; you can study every ICS subject with Coracle, starting at a time that suits you. So, what are you waiting for?
Coracle’s extended family
Coracle is pleased to announce the launch of an Affiliate scheme, offering special incentives for companies and ICS branches that generate sales of Coracle’s courses.
It’s free to become an Affiliate: simply contact us for further information and an application form.
A vision for the UK
We’re delighted to partner SeaVision in its national on-going campaign to raise awareness and understanding of the sea and maritime activities.
SeaVision aims to educate and improve appreciation of the very real value of the maritime industry. At grass roots level, SeaVision aims to boost the take-up of maritime careers to meet future needs, while at the top of the parliamentary chain, the organisation makes sure that the UK maritime sector is not overlooked – an initiative that Coracle wholeheartedly supports.
