BROADEN YOUR KNOWLEDGE WITH OUR INTENSIVE THEORY COURSES
From our classroom in Dartmouth we offer a full range of RYA shorebased courses.

RYA COASTAL SKIPPER/YACHTMASTER SHOREBASED COURSE
This course covers navigation, meteorology, collision avoidance, safety and passage planning. On completion of the course you will understand the principles of navigating for coastal and offshore passages. To achieve RYA Yachtmaster staus you need to pass this shorebased theory qualification.
RYA FIRST AID AT SEA
This one day course covers First aid and resusitation techniques for yachtsmen, including how to treat hypothermia. This certificate is valid for three years and is a prerequisite for your Yachtmaster Offshore Exam.
RYA MARINE RADIO SHORT RANGE CERTIFICATE
This one day course (and exam) allows you to operate a VHF radio (fitted with Digital Selective Calling) on board any British vessel. During the course you will learn the Global Maritime Distress System (G.M.D.S.S.) and routine, distress, urgency, medical and safety procedures. The course finishes with a short exam, so please bring along a cheque of £22 (made payable to the RYA) and a passport sized photo.
This certificate is a prerequisite for your Yachtmaster Offshore Exam.
RYA DIESEL ENGINE MAINTENANCE COURSE
Leaving this one day course you will have an awareness of the main systems of a marine diesel engine and be able to take simple measures to prevent mechanical breakdown at sea. Mechanical failure is the main reason for lifeboat callouts for yachts.
