Welcome to Ardent Training’s extensive list of resource links. We love to share our team’s extensive knowledge base, and so here you will find an array of resources for you to view, read, and use while on the water.

These are perfect for taking with you on courses, using to aid your learning during the theory course, or having available at the chart table for reference.

Towards the bottom, you will find links to some of our most useful YouTube videos on how to tie knots and extracts from our super popular Masterclass series of live sessions that we record with our students.
