ASA & StarPath Partnership
Enabling ASA Affiliates to offer their students the opportunity to earn ASA certifications by completing ASA-approved interactive online courses.
Why PARTNER WITH StarPath?
Starpath has over 40 years of experience in classroom teaching and 23 years of online training. They guarantee students will learn the subject matter well, and enjoy doing it. Live instructors are standing by at all times to provide whatever help is needed.
Why offer these courses?
Student sailors are always eager to learn new skills. These online courses present new learning opportunities that are ideal for the off-season, or for schools that want to focus their effort towards on-the-water education.
How Do REFERRALS WORK
These classes present a unique opportunity to offer supplemental courses to students as well as generate additional income for Affiliates. By using a unique referral link, Affiliates will receive a $100 commission on every course sold.
