RYA Powerboat Instructor
RYA Powerboat Instructor Course Overview
The RYA Powerboat Instructor course is taught in a variety of small open powerboats such as RIBs, dories and sportsboats and is aimed at a variety of users from casual leisure boaters to professional small boat skippers.
The RYA Powerboat Instructor course is a three day course assessed by an independent Trainer on the third day.
The outcome of this course will qualify you to teach up to and including Powerboat Level 2 under the supervision of the Principal or Chief Instructor. If you hold the Safety Boat Certificate, you may also teach the RYA Safety Boat Course.
The certificate is valid for five years from the date of issue, provided that a valid first aid certificate is maintained.
Candidates who are already qualified as an RYA Yachtmaster Instructor (power) may attend a one day conversion course, rather than the full three day course.
Our training takes place in Southampton waters which have great access to the Solent. This provides a great area for training.
