J/World Certificates
Completion of a J/World course earns a J/World certificate, recognized by sailing associations, charter companies, and insurance companies around the world. 

We offer US Sailing Certification at no charge with some of our sailing classes. We feel that sailing certification, while important, is not imperative for all of our students.
Certifications are not themselves a goal.  The goal of sailing education is to learn safe and efficient practices and to build experience.  J/World has been teaching sailing longer than any authority has been certifying sailors.  We are proud that our courses are more comprehensive and challenging than ANY standard.  If you just want to get certified, there are places you can go and spend less money and less time. 

But if you really want to learn, come to J/World.

We offer sailing certification as an option for students that will be chartering boats in the future and want to have a recognized log book for keeping records of their sailing. There is a written and practical portion of each exam with each sailing certification.
