RYA Cruising Instructors

ELIGIBILITY

This course is designed for those already holding a Yacht Master Offshore certificate of competence who wants to teach on the water, up to Day Skipper level. The Cruising Instructor certification is a great stepping stone towards Yacht Master Instructor. The syllabus is broken down into instructional techniques, knowledge, safety and personal skills.

Any candidates booking on to an RYA Cruising Instructor course will be required to complete the RYA Cruising Instructor pre-course knowledge interactive on-line course before attending the five day practical

PRE-REQUISITE EXPERIENCE

• RYA / MCA Yacht Master Offshore Certificate of Competence, with current Commercial Endorsement.
• Current RYA membership.
• Cruising Instructor pre-course knowledge interactive on-line course e-certificates.
• Candidates should have a depth and breadth of experience which far exceeds that of a newly qualified Yacht Master with minimum logged sea time, so those whose knowledge and skills do not go beyond RYA Cruising Scheme competencies are unlikely to complete the course successfully. If in doubt this should be discussed with our Course Advisors.
