Cruising Instructor Sail Course

Achieving your RYA Cruising Instructor Sail enables you to teach RYA Competent Crew & Day Skipper Practical within RYA Training Centres based around the world, with year round opportunities. You must already be an experienced Yachtmaster Offshore with a commercial endorsement and a valid medical certificate to apply to attend this course.  The course is five days long and is delivered by one of our experienced Cruising Instructor Trainers and a second Cruising Instructor Trainer moderates the fifth day to ensure the standards are maintained within  the scheme. At Allabroad we have been delivering high level instructing courses for at least the last 20 years, focusing on advance teaching methods and people skills. The proof is in the pudding with many of our Cruising Instructors going on to become full Yachtmaster Instructors, Yachtmaster Examiners & Cruising Instructor Trainers too.
