Dear Members
We are in urgent need to train additional instructors to the Level of Dinghy Instructor.
The cost of this course will be £50, this is a financial supported course by the RYA so all you have to do in return is help with a minimum number of agreed training sessions at Herne Bay Sailing Club.
The course will be run at Herne Bay sailing Club during May.
Please contact Nathan Hudson on 07785 953831 for more information.
Instructors teaching the National Sailing Scheme need to be qualified for the type of boat in which they teach, ie dinghies, small keelboats or multihulls. In addition the instructor certificate is endorsed to show whether you are qualified to teach on inland or coastal waters
The instructor is a competent, experienced sailor capable of sailing a training boat in strong winds and handling small powerboats. The instructor has been assessed as competent to teach adults and children, beginners and improvers. See the 'who teaches what' link for exact details.
Although responsible for teaching individuals and small groups, the instructor has not been assessed as competent in running a sailing centre, and should always work under the supervision of an RYA Senior instructor (for dinghy and multihull courses) or the chief instructor of a keelboat training centre.
Prior to the course candidates must fulfil the following requirements:
Training in teaching techniques afloat and ashore is provided during the instructor training course, which is staffed by RYA Coach/Assessors. The course will be based on a five-day week or 50 hours, but may take the form of a number of weekends, single days or sessions. Courses run on a protracted basis may take slightly longer than 50 hours to allow for revision time.
The moderation will usually take place on the final day of the course and will be carried out by a Coach/Assessor who has not been involved in training the candidate. Candidates will be required to demonstrate competence in course preparation, delivery and management, as well as customer liaison.
Instructor certificates are valid for five years from the date of issue, provided that a valid first aid certificate is maintained.
Candidates who complete their instructor course in dinghies, but who want to teach in small keelboats or multihulls should obtain the relevant endorsement.
Endorsement courses are run over two days by Coach/Assessors with the relevant experience who have been appointed by the RYA. During the course, candidates must demonstrate their pre-entry test skills and teaching techniques. Candidates will be assessed on a continuous basis afloat and successful completion the course organiser will sign their logbook.
