Royal Yachting Association Instructor Courses
All RYA Instructor courses have pre-entry requirements before undertaking your instructor training
course. These requirements must be in place before you take part in the training course. The
requirements will vary depending on what disipline you are following. SWAC puts on pre-entry courses
in the days or weeks leading up to instructor courses to allow a convenient pathway towards your chosen
qualification. Discounts are available if pre-entry and training courses are booked together. Please
contact the centre for advice and guidance.
