RYA Course List
This course is aimed at those who would
benefit from a basic introduction to Powerboating, perhaps your young or
in-experienced crew or for those who may wish to take up Powerboating
and have had no experience, yet!
This is perhaps the most popular qualification which provides the skills
and background knowledge needed to be a competent powerboat "driver".
It
meets the minimum standard required to obtain an International
Certificate of Competence (ICC) required by many countries throughout
Europe and the World if you wish to use your boat, or charter one, in
their waters.
This course will suit those with a good level of boat handling skills
who would like to develop these skills further with a view to expanding
their cruising range by navigating coastal waters on short, daylight passages.
It provides practical instruction on traditional and electronic
navigation techniques required to create and execute pilotage notes and
passage plans.
Primarily for very experienced Powerboaters, this course
is aimed at the professional or serious amateur. It is run over two long
days and incorporates a night passage on the first day. It is
expected that you will already possess and be able to demonstrate very
good boathandling and navigational skills and be able to take charge of
a powerboat, and
crew, in both known and unknown waters in daylight, and at night, in all
conditions. Whilst there is instruction in some new and more advanced
manoeuvres on this course it is very much an "assessment with guidance".
International Certificate of Competence (ICC)
You will need an ICC if you wish to use your boat
or charter one abroad. There are many ways to gain your ICC,
just click on the title above to find out.
It may possible to take these
courses on your own boat, privately, providing it is adequately
equipped.
Please call to enquire.
