Cruising Instructor
The five day RYA Cruising Instructors course and assessment is
aimed at qualified RYA Yachtmaster's who wish to teach the RYA
Competent Crew and RYA Day Skipper practical courses. Based on our
extensive experience, the RYA Cruising Instructor course includes
instructional techniques, the syllabus and how to construct an
effective course, safety, as well as developing your personal
skills.
This course is taught and assessed by our
principal Dominic Bridgeman who draw on years of professional
teaching experience to deliver a rewarding and challenging
Cruising Instructor syllabus.
Applicants for the Cruising Instructor course must hold a RYA/MCA
Yachtmaster Offshore Certificate of Competency and candidates
intending to use the Cruising Instructor qualification in a
commercial environment will be required to have this commercially
endorsed.
The successful Cruising Instructor candidate will be expected to
give convincing demonstrations of any part of the RYA Competent Crew
and RYA Day Skipper syllabus and this includes: Knots,
sail-handling, man overboard, mooring, pilotage by day and night,
IRPCS, basic meteorology, navigation and skippering.
Cruising Instructor candidates who reach the required standard will
be awarded the RYA Cruising Instructor endorsement which is valid
for 5 years. After this time, cruising instructors must either
re-take the Cruising Instructor course or pass the Yachtmaster
Instructor’s Assessment. Candidates are advised to familiarise
themselves with a current RYA G15 - the Cruising Logbook.
