An important note from Brien Daniel, the principal at Yachting Directiosn
I have been teaching RYA courses for almost 24 years. It was obvious to me, 20 years ago that an RYA course that requires 40 hours minimum, taught over 5 days was absurd. Around the world at over 2,000 training centres, the pass rate is only 20% for a 5 day course. There is simply too much information to absorb in just 5 days and then be examined on it. So at Yachting Directions, your course is spread over 3 or 4 weeks to enable you to learn, understand and retain the course content. You're welcome 😊.
