Adults of any age may participate at "Beginners", "Advanced" and/or "Racing Crew" Courses. Learning the basics of sailing or practicing to improve sailing skills is also possible during sailing vacations or under extra-ordinary private arrangements tailored to a group's needs and preferences. Tables below contain, for each period's courses, actual dates of joining deadline, initial meeting (candidates get acquainted with their instructors and among themselves, receive detailed program, form Saturday and Sunday sail practicing groups), start and end of sailing theory lessons and sea-practices and qualification exams (before the exam time is allotted to a rehearsal on the matter taught).
BEGINNERS
Anyone willing to participate at the Beginners' Courses should have completed 18th year of age and fill in an application form accompanied by a photocopy of his/her ID Card and 6 ID size photos needed for sailing and nautical athletic licenses.
Beginners' Regular
Upon expiry of inscription deadline, groups of 7 to 9 persons are formed per each sailing boat. Members of all groups together follow 7 theory lessons held every Wednesday (19:00- 22:00 hrs) at NOTK's premises and in a last (8th) session take a written qualification exam after a rehearsal on the matter taught. Each group practices sailing at sea on 8 Saturdays or Sundays (10:00 to 17:30). One of these (to be agreed between group and instructor) includes night sailing.
Fees: 400 euro including the Theoretical Lessons CD and a T-Shirt.

There will be no theoretical lessons on Good Wednesday and on Wednesday following Easter, nor practice sailings on Good Saturday and Easter Day (Orthodox - 04/04/2010). In general, a brake is given on all national holidays.
Beginners' Holiday Intensive
A
one-week intensive course is available weekly during July and August for those willing to combine holidays with learning how to sail. In an area other than the Saronic Bay, actually in the
Ermioni - Spetses - Porto Heli region where prevailing mild winds make sailing from one idyllic location to another on a daily basis a fantastic experience. Depending on their number and composition, group members stay on board at night. Laptop-assisted theory lessons are delivered by the instructor on board.
Participation costs
800 euro including accommodation.
Beginners' Intensive Extra-Ordinary
At any given time other than July and August, on a notice of 1 week, if 7 to 9 persons organize a group an
intensive private course may be organized at any period of the year. Such courses are tailored to group's particular needs or requirements. These courses last either 14 days (
daily theory and sailing every week day) or for 5 to 6 weeks (
daily theory and sailing on Saturdays and Sundays excluding working days). Practice sailing takes place in the Saronic and there are no night stays on board as boat daily returns to her departure port, except if otherwise agreed.
Theoretical lessons are delivered by skipper. Theory and sea practice time amounts to no less than a "Regular Beginner" but course is completed in shorter time.
Cost:
400 euro per person.
ADVANCED COURSES
Candidates willing to attend should hold a sailing license from
NOTK or other sailing school. No less than 6 or more than 9 persons should form a group per boat. Five theory lessons are delivered on Tuesdays or Thursdays from 20:00 to 22:00 hrs and each group's training at sea lasts from 10:00 to 17:30 hrs for 8 Saturdays or Sundays. One of the sea trainings to be agreed between skipper and group starts later to include night sailing.
Cost:
400 euro per person.
