Teaching Students
Radar Endorsement - ASA 120
Once an American Sailing Instructor has successfully completed the Radar Endorsement 220 course/exam, he or she will be able to offer the Radar Endorsement 120 to ASA students. Student prerequisites are ASA 105. Instructors will obtain student packages from ASA through Affiliate schools, as with all other ASA courses.
Student materials and packages will be available through ASA. Student packages will include a textbook, workbook and exam. Students will not be required to purchase an unlimited license radar simulator since their textbook includes a scaled down version that will operate for a 30-day period… enough to complete their course.
Instructors will have a power point presentation and speaker notes/instructor guide which they may use to teach the entire course. Of course, each instructor may add additional topics or detail to the standard course. Course length is recommended to be three sessions of approximately three hours each.
