This RYA Dinghy Instructor course focuses on how to teach sailing effectively, manage groups safely, and deliver sessions that are clear, engaging, and well structured. Over five full days, time is split between practical teaching afloat and shore-based sessions that build confidence as an instructor rather than just a sailor. 🧭 Key Details Qualification: RYA Dinghy Instructor Duration: 5 days Ages: 16+ Group size: Small groups Experience level: Advanced ⛵ Key Skills Delivering the RYA teaching method afloat and ashore Managing groups and maintaining safety on the water Demonstrating and explaining sailing manoeuvres clearly Giving effective feedback and adapting sessions to learners Understanding session structure, planning, and progression 📘 Course Breakdown Focus during the early part of the week is on understanding how the RYA approach to teaching works in practice. Sessions cover lesson structure, communication styles, and how to break skills down so they make sense to beginners. Time on the water is spent practising demonstrations, improving personal sailing to instructor standard, and learning how to spot and correct common mistakes. As the week progresses, emphasis shifts towards real teaching scenarios. Candidates take turns leading sessions, managing groups, and responding to changing conditions while being supported with detailed feedback from instructors. Shore-based sessions cover safety management, risk awareness, and the responsibilities that come with teaching others. The course is practical, hands-on, and designed to build confidence in front of a group. 📍 Location Training takes place within Poole Harbour, an area well known for its mix of sheltered water and tidal influence. Conditions allow instructors-in-training to practise teaching in environments that reflect real-world sailing centres, from calm introductory sessions to more demanding scenarios. Onshore facilities support the course with space for briefings, lesson planning, and group discussions. Easy access between shore and water allows sessions to flow naturally between theory and practice throughout the day. ✅ Prerequisites Candidates must be confident sailors with experience equivalent to the RYA Advanced Sailing modules, including RYA Seamanship Skills. Before attending the course, the RYA Pre-Entry Assessment must be completed, along with RYA Powerboat Level 2, a valid First Aid certificate, and RYA S… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included RYA Dinghy Instructor training and coaching Use of boats and sailing equipment Buoyancy aid Some waterproof jackets and trousers (weather dependent) ### What’s not included Accommodation and meals RYA Pre-Entry Assessment RYA Powerboat Level 2 First Aid certificate RYA Safe & Fun Safeguarding Personal insurance Transport to and from the meeting point ### Kit list _None._ ## FAQs _No FAQs in catalog._ ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/jet-form-builder/c71236ee9a33e63ef38d2b1e8574fbdf/2024/05/439143145_996725979123887_1606595456682104040_n.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 3 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
