RYA First Aid
RYA First Aid gives you some knowledge so that in a medical emergency, you may be able to save lives, especially when you are in a remote location or at sea. This course is unique, as it is aimed at water sports enthusiasts and small craft operators. It takes a realistic look at the levels of First Aid that can be performed in a yacht, powerboat, dinghy or ocean rowing boat. Our instructors fully appreciate the difference between conventional First Aid and RYA First Aid (where the ambulance may not be just ten minutes away). The course fulfils the First Aid Training requirements for RYA Commercial Endorsement
