19. Teekkaripurjehtijat ry’s navigation courses!
Another year has passed and next summer’s boating season is getting closer day by day. Soon it will be possible to get some sailing vibes and join Teekkaripurjehtijat ry’s navigation courses before the adventures of the season ahead.
Teekkaripurjehtijat is a sailing association for students and non-students, founded in 1951 and operating within AYY.
Are you a beginner wishing to learn how to read a nautical chart, recognize sea marks, and plan routes for future trips? Are you perhaps willing to learn how to navigate also during poor visibility and recognize light and sound marks of different vessels? Maybe you already have experience but want to deepen your skills even further. Are you interested in ocean tides and boating abroad? If your answer to any of these was positive, TRIP’s navigation courses are here for you.
This spring we will organize again three navigation courses according to Suomen Navigoinninopettajat ry’s education system; Navigation 1 in Finnish and in English and Navigation 2 in Finnish. The courses are for Teekkaripurjehtijat members only. If you aren’t a member yet, now is a good time to join! You can fill in a TRIP membership registration form on this web page.
Prior knowledge is not required for participating Navigation 1 -courses. However, prior knowledge is recommended if you are interested in participating Navigation 2 (FIN)-course. A certificate of prior studies is not compulsory for Navigation 2 -course, but you need a certificate (of Navigation 1 or similar level exam) for participating Navigation 2 -exam.
Navigation 1 -courses will start at week 8; the course in Finnish will be held on Tuesdays starting from 21.2. and the course in English will be held on Mondays starting from 20.2. Both courses will last until Tuesday 11.4., when the final exam will be organized for both courses (because 10.2. is Easter Monday). The registrations for Navigation 1 -courses and separate exams will open later in January at week 8. The registration for Navigation 2 (in Finnish) is already open.
Teaching will be arranged once a week as contact teaching in Otaniemi (to be announced). Courses will each consist of seven three-hour lectures and an exam, from which a certificate will be sent via email. One paper exam and the certificate are included in the course prices.
Courses cost 70€ (inc. 1 x paper exam) for students and 90€ (inc. 1 x paper exam) for graduates. It is possible to do an online exam instead of paper exam by paying 10€ extra. In that case, a course with an online exam would cost 80€ for students and 100€ for graduates. It is also possible to do a separate exam without the course. A separate paper exam costs 35€ and an online exam 45€.
Attendance in the classes is not compulsory but regular participation is highly recommended, for gaining a clear picture of the contents and succeeding in the exam. In addition, you can meet great people with mutual interests!
More specific information about the courses will be updated on the club’s
website under the section “Navigation courses”. The registration form link will be published in the website news and in the Navigation courses -section. There will be a possibility to order course materials when filling in the registration form. The materials will be given to participants when the courses start. The schedules for courses and a price list are visible on the website. You can also join a “info” -email list, which is open for everyone, by filling up this form. The form is unfortunately in Finnish, but the messages we send to the list, are in English also. The form asks you to choose an email list, so in this case “Info” -list, and fill in your email address. To info -list we will send general info about things happening in Teekkaripurjehtijat, for example about courses and other events.
A warm welcome to Teekkaripurjehtijat and to our courses! If you have something to ask, you can contact me by sending email to
emmi.nevalainen@teekkaripurjehtijat.fi. 🙂

23. TEK Finnish Language Café returns every Monday and Wednesday!
After a Christmas break, the TEK Finnish Language Café returns to help you practise your Finnish skills outside of your lessons! The café is a low effort opportunity to speak Finnish with other learners, as well as to just have a break from your courses with coffee and snacks. The location is the Otaniemi TEK office, found in the Harold Harlin Learning Centre (via external A door), so can form a convenient part of your day.
The Finnish Café aims to be very casual, with all skill levels of Finnish welcome, especially including those who are native speakers. Whether you are in your first year in Finland or your twentieth, feel free to stop by, chat, and improve your skills!
In terms of integrating into Finland following studies, language problems are consistently given as the number one issue in finding a field relevant job. While native skills are impossible for many, even some Finnish skills can make a huge difference. As part of TEK’s work to improve the ability of international students to thrive in Finland, these cafes can hopefully help you achieve those skills – and therefore a future here!
Starting from Wednesday 01.02., the times of the café throughout the Spring semester are as follows:
Every Monday at 16:15
Every Wednesday at 14:15
Depending on demand, extra sessions can also be organised later on.
We have a Telegram group for communication and extra Finnish practise, as well as for any possible cancellations or changed times. If you have any interest in coming to a café, join it at https://t.me/+_XsOr7ChyPxkOTI8
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to message me at @kvtykki on Telegram, or at owain.hopeaketo@tek.fi.
Nähdään siellä!
