Product
Bridgedeck Study recreates the pressure of a real oral. Same examiner energy, same syllabus mapping — minus the booking diary and the instructor invoice.
Sit a full paired oral whenever you've got 30 minutes. Voice-only, free-form follow-ups, no scripted multiple choice masquerading as a viva.
Transcript, examiner-style feedback per question, and a model answer to compare against. Close the gap, not just the file.
Mastery tracked per topic so you know exactly where you're soft and what's safe.
Audio is processed in real time, never persisted. You get the transcript — we don't keep the recording.
Sub-second responses from a stack built for natural turn-taking. Feels like a conversation, not a chatbot.
A single dashboard tells you whether you're exam-ready — by topic, by function, by exam date.
Workflow
No 14-week course. No course leader. Just the syllabus, the chair, and you — for as long as it takes.
1 STEP ONE
We map the syllabus to your qualification and the time you have left. No fluff. Just what matters for your viva.
2 STEP TWO
Paired voice sessions, free-form follow-ups, examiner pressure. Run a 30-minute mock at lunch or a full hour after watch.
3 STEP THREE
Track readiness per topic. Sit the real exam when you're green across the board — not when the calendar says so.
Sample session
A 60-second clip from a real Function 1 mock. The examiner pivots, you respond, it follows up — same as the chair.

Inside the apps
Calm purple for Study, warm chart-paper for Logbook. Each app keeps its own register and reads like an instrument — not a dashboard.

Founder note
Bridgedeck started because nothing on the App Store understood a watchkeeper’s day. Logbooks were forms. Study apps were quiz decks. So we built the tools we wished we’d had on watch — and shipped them.
