We will be starting our Yachtmaster course on Wednesday 21st January. Application form and poster for these are below:
The Day Skipper and Yachtmaster courses are concentrated over 8 weeks and are designed for those who prefer to study at a faster pace. You will be required to study at home and complete home-work papers for assessment. All RYA publications required for the courses are included in the course fee. Each student will require their own plotting equipment. It is strongly recommended that students enrolling on the Yachtmaster Off-Shore course will have already completed the Day Skipper course. Up to 12 students and group booking available.
