3 week Yachtmaster Academy
Over the last 10 years, we have trained hundreds of Yachtmaster Coastal and Offshore Candidates and we are proud of our pass rate. We are constantly looking for ways to improve our offering and this is where the idea of this newly designed Yachtmaster Academy was born.
Our 3-week Yachtmaster Academy can cater to many different abilities, from those who simply want extra time on board our boat before the exam in order to hone their navigation skills, to those who require the last couple of 60nm passages for their Yachtmaster Offshore qualification.
About the Course
Pre Course:
Included in the cost is a copy of the RYA Navigation Exercises book along with 2 training charts, plotters, dividers and a USB Memory stick with extensive chartwork videos and resources for pre-course study.
Week 1: Yachtmaster Theory Course
A 6-day intensive navigation course looking in detail at IRPCS, Chartwork, Passage Planning, Meteorology, and more.
Week 2: Mile Builder
A 5-day practical course putting into practice all the theory from the week before whilst ticking off the last few miles for the Yachtmaster Exam. The emphasis of these 5 days is putting into practice Passage Planning, Pilotage, Electronic Nav, and Radar. This is a fully residential course and, weather dependent, you should get the chance to visit Belfast and Islay before making your way back into the Clyde.
Week 3: Yachtmaster Prep & Exam
The final stage of the course is our 4 day Yachtmaster Prep which is the perfect opportunity to perfect your boat handling and pilotage skills in preparation for your Yachtmaster Offshore Exam on Day 5 & 6.
We have the ability to tailor a package to your exact needs, whether that would be completing your Day Skipper theory course, 1:1 theory training, completing your additional commercial endorsement courses or something else. Please contact us for information.
