Classes are held every two weeks on Saturdays aboard the magnificent steamship SS Rotterdam. This group setting not only creates a supportive and interactive learning environment but also allows students to share experiences and motivate one another throughout the course.
Our dedicated instructors, who are masters of their craft, bring a wealth of knowledge and practical expertise to the classroom. They also share fascinating and entertaining stories from their professional careers, making each lesson both educational and enjoyable.
Unlike many “online-only” courses, the Morse Academy is committed to helping you achieve real, practical results. By the end of the course, you will have mastered the skills to send and receive Morse code effectively. The program concludes with an official in-house examination, and successful participants receive a diploma to mark their achievement.
