There are plenty of certifying bodies out there — but this episode isn’t about collecting logos. It’s about the instructor mindset NauticEd looks for: people who genuinely care about building real competence, not just issuing a certificate and moving on.

We’re building a competence-first culture, and we want instructors who take the responsibility seriously — because the end result isn’t a “card,” it’s a skipper who can confidently take friends and family out (including complete beginners and kids) and keep everything safe, calm, and under control.

In this episode:

• What “best” means to NauticEd (as an instructor standard, not a brand comparison)
• Why we prioritize competence + care over fast sign-offs
• The real responsibility of teaching: preparing someone to carry others safely
• The culture we expect instructors to uphold inside the NauticEd platform
