RYA Assistant Instructor Course
Potential Assistant Instructors must have finished year 8 at school and hold a RYA sailing scheme advanced module (preferably Seamanship Skills and if Start Racing they should hold one other).
| Pre-entry assessment | Recommendation by Principal of the Recognised Training Centre |
| Training course | Training should be based on a 20 hour course covering basic teaching principles, centre procedures and specific training in any unfamiliar equipment (see RYA book G14). Candidates will be assessed on their teaching ability with beginners. |
| Qualified to teach | Up to Sailing Scheme Level 2 or Youth Sailing Scheme Stage 3 under the supervision of a Senior Instructor. As the AI’s training is limited to assisting qualified instructors and does not include first aid or powerboat handling, AIs must never be allowed to work without direct supervision. |
| Certificate validity | This is a centre-specific certificate, awarded by the training centre and valid for five years |
