NauticEd runs instructor operations differently than the traditional sailing-school model. In this episode we explain the two pathways: Sailing School vs Private Instructor—and what each one actually means in day-to-day teaching.

A sailing school is the classic setup: multiple instructors working under a school structure. A private instructor is more like an independent operator—teaching one-on-one on the water (using their own boat or a student’s boat) while NauticEd handles the platform, software, and administrative systems behind the scenes. The instructor focuses on coaching, tracking progress in the app, and signing off competence—while the system takes care of the rest.

We cover:

• What a “sailing school” model looks like inside NauticEd
• What a “private instructor” model looks like (solo operator)
• How the NauticEd app/platform supports instruction and sign-offs
• Who the instructors “work for” in each model and how the structure differs
