RYA Instructor Course (6 days) This course is for the experienced dinghy sailor who is hoping to attain their RYA Dinghy Instructor certificate. Before going on the instructor course you must be at least 16 years old and have passed your ‘pre-entry’ assessment. The course lasts 6 days (Mon-Sat) and is designed to develop your understanding of the teaching techniques used within the RYA framework. The course is run by Derek, an RYA Coach Assessor and is moderated on the final day by an external Coach Assessor. You will be staying in one of the lodges with other course members which will provide the opportunity for discussion and further study in the evenings as required. Be prepared to work hard during the week. The syllabus is extensive and there is a lot of preparation required before the external examination on the Saturday. We will utilise every spare moment we have. Before finally qualifying you must hold a recognised First Aid Certificate, an RYA Level 2 Powerboat Certificate (best completed before the course) and successfully complete the RYA Instructor Course. Due to the tidal location of Tighnabruaich Sailing School, successful candidates will also gain their coastal endorsement to the Instructor award. Dates: 23rd June - 28th June 18th August – 23rd August Prices: Residential (self-catering) £339.00 Residential (self-catering) Dinghy Instructor and Powerboat Course £480.00
