All of my classes are conducted and scheduled through the Corpus Christi Yachting Center. Please contact them for class availability and tell them you saw it here first. I am certified by ASA to teach the following classes:
ASA 101 - Basic Keelboat
Prerequisites: None
General Description: Able to sail a boat of about 20 feet in length in light to moderate winds and sea conditions in familiar waters without supervision. A preparatory Standard with no auxiliary power or navigation skills required. This is a 2 day class generally conducted over a weekend.
ASA 103 - Basic Coastal Cruising
Prerequisites: Basic Keelboat Sailing Certificate
General Description: Able to cruise safely in local and regional waters as both skipper and crew on an auxiliary powered sailboat of about 20 to 30 feet in length, in moderate winds and sea conditions. This school is a 3 day liveaboard class, generally...we depart Corpus Christi on a Friday morning. You'll spend one night at anchor and the second night at an area marina, (I'm partial to Key Allegro).

ASA 105 - Coastal Navigation
Prerequisites: None
General Description: Able to demonstrate the navigational theory required to safely navigate a sailing vessel in coastal or inland waters. There is no Sailing Skills part to this Standard and practical application of this sailing knowledge is found in the Advanced Coastal Cruising Standard.
ASA Fast Track
The ASA Fast Track course combines all the material from the ASA 103 and 104 courses to get you well prepared for sailing. The candidates should have completed the ASA 101 or demonstrate an equivalent knowledge level prior to this class. The class is a 5 day live aboard and the schedule is intense. This option offers substantial savings over taking each of those courses separately!
ASA 114 - Cruising Catamaran
Prerequisites: Basic Keelboat ASA 101 and Basic Coastal Cruising ASA 103. The Bareboat Charter Standard ASA 104 is also a prerequisite and can be attained either by itself prior to BBC Multihull ASA 114 or in conjunction with BBC Multihull ASA 114. In either case, ALL MATERIAL IN BOTH STANDARDS, ASA 104 & 114, MUST BE TAUGHT AND TESTED BEFORE the ASA 114 CAN BE AWARDED.
General Description: An advanced cruising standard for individuals with cruising experience. The individual can act as skipper and crew of a 30-50 foot multihull sailboat by day in coastal waters. The standard includes those skills unique to a 30-50 foot multihull.
