RYA Theory & Shorebased Training Courses
Most experienced skippers and instructors would agree, that going to sea without a balance of the following courses, would be at best described as foolish. Our Southampton RYA Training Centre runs shore based classroom courses for; VHF Radio, RYA & HSE First Aid, as well as the RYA Day Skipper & Yachtmaster Theory courses.
From our Southampton Shamrock Quay Marina classrooms, we offer these essential additional courses:-
RYA VHF Radio SRC ( Short Range Certificate ) From £49
It is a legal requirement that anyone using a marine VHF radio, holds a current license or is under supervision of a current radio license holder. Not only is a VHF radio the recommended marine safety communication method whilst at sea, but calling a marina for a berth, fuel or an other vessel at sea, are all easier via VHF radio.
This 1 day classroom course teaches you the correct usage of and an overview of standard DSC equipment features. More VHF radio course details here.
RYA First Aid Course From £99
Hopefully common sense tells us all, that some First Aid Training would be a useful addition to our knowledge when operating at sea. This course is tailored to incidents and the limitations of being at sea. This is a 1 day course run in our Southampton classroom, with both hands on applications and theory sessions. The RYA first aid course is a requirement for some practical courses such as the Powerboat Advanced course. More first aid course details here.
HSE First Aid Courses From £99
The Health & Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 require employers to provide adequate and appropriate equipment, facilities and personnel to ensure their employees receive immediate attention, if they become injured or are taken ill within the work place.
Solent Boat Training offer Regulated and Non-Regulated HSE First Aid Courses.
RYA Day Skipper Theory From £249
A full 5 days in the classroom can be an unpleasant thought, but our new classroom and supporting local facilities allows you to focus on the day skipper course.
From chartwork, navigation, tides, seamanship to collision avoidance your theory knowledge will be wide and deep following this course.
RYA Coastal Skipper/Yachtmaster Theory From £299
This is an advanced course in navigation and meteorology for candidates for the Coastal Skipper and Yachtmaster Offshore Certificate.
The syllabus makes some provision for the revision of subjects in the Day Skipper Course but those who have not acquired the knowledge set out in the Day Skipper Course are unlikely to be able to assimilate all the subjects covered in this course in the time available.
