The Cruising Instructor Course is the “first rung” on the instructional ladder for persons wishing to teach yachting.

It entitles you to teach the RYA’s Competent Crew and Dayskipper Practical courses.

A yachting instructor requires many skills to run an excellent course for their students, these include:

•          Communication Skills
•          Teaching Skills
•         Time & Location Management
•          Background  Knowledge
•          Debriefing Skills
•  Managing the learning environment

This course focuses on all these skills and is assessed continually throughout the week. The course is dedicated to creating superb instructional skills and helping you achieve these.

The course is delivered by our principle Paul Adamson who has over 13 years of experience teaching the RYA scheme and who also is an RYA Ocean Yachtmaster Examiner & Instructor.

You must hold a current RYA Commercially Endorsed Yachtmaster Offshore Certificate to be eligible to attend this course.
