RYA First Aid

Our one-day course covers all the usual first aid subjects, but from a boating perspective. It is aimed at anyone who goes afloat, whether on inland waters, rivers, estuaries or on cross channel passages and includes Cat C drug training for commercial endorsement.

In a medical emergency a little first aid knowledge and immediate action can save lives, especially in remote locations. This one-day training is designed to provide a working knowledge of first aid for people using small craft and to support skippers.

The syllabus is MCA approved and satisfies the requirements for Coastal Skipper Yachtmaster and Advanced Powerboat certificates of competence and some commercial work afloat.
