You’ll practise CPR techniques, recovery positions adapted for onboard spaces, and how to respond to common boating-related incidents such as slips, burns, or impact injuries. The focus is on clear actions and simple processes that can be applied under pressure. As the course progresses, attention shifts to marine-specific challenges including cold shock, hypothermia, seasickness, and dehydration. You’ll also learn how to communicate effectively with emergency services using VHF radio and understand what to expect during a rescue. By the end of the day, you’ll feel more prepared to manage incidents calmly and support others until professional help arrives. 📍 Location Courses are delivered in the Southampton area, primarily at Hamble Point Marina and Marchwood Yacht Club.

This course is designed for anyone who spends time on the water, including skippers, crew members, and those working professionally in marine environments. It’s particularly useful for individuals progressing through RYA qualifications, as the certificate is often required for higher-level courses and commercial endorsements. The training is also valuable beyond boating, as the skills you learn can be applied in everyday situations. Whether you’re dealing with a minor injury or a more serious emergency, the course helps you respond with confidence and clarity. ### Do I need any prior experience? No previous first aid or boating experience is required. The course is structured so that complete beginners can follow along easily, with clear explanations and practical demonstrations throughout the day. For those who already have some first aid knowledge, the course acts as a refresher with a strong focus on marine-specific scenarios. This makes it particularly useful for updating skills in a boating context. ### How long is the course? The course runs over a single day, typically lasting between six and eight hours. This allows enough time to cover all key topics in detail while also giving participants plenty of opportunity to practise techniques. The structure balances theory and hands-on learning, ensuring you stay engaged throughout and leave with practical skills you can remember and apply. ### What will I learn during the course? You’ll learn how to perform CPR, place someone in the recovery position, and manage injuries such as bleeding, fractures, and burns. The course also covers cold shock, hypothermia, seasickness, and dehydration, all of which are particularly relevant to boating. In addition, you’ll gain an understanding of how to call for help using VHF radio and how to manage a situation until professional assistance arrives. This combination of skills prepares you for a wide range of potential emergencies. ### Is the certificate recognised? Yes, the RYA One Day First Aid Certificate is MCA approved and widely recognised. It satisfies the first aid requirements for qualifications such as Coastal Skipper, Yachtmaster, and Advanced Powerboat. The certificate is also accepted for many commercial endorsements, making it an important qualification for those working in the marine industry. ### How long is the certificate valid? The certificate is typically valid for three years. After this period, it’s recommended that you complete a refresher course to ensure your skills remain up to date. Regular refreshers are important, as first aid techniques and best practices can evolve over time. Staying current helps ensure you’re prepared to respond effectively in an emergency. ### Is there an exam? Assessment is carried out throughout the day through practical participation rather than a formal written exam. You’ll be observed during scenarios to ensure you understand and can apply the techniques taught. This approach keeps the course practical and focused on real-world application, rather than testing theoretical knowledge alone. ### What should I bring with me? You should wear comfortable clothing suitable for practical activities, as you’ll be involved in hands-on exercises throughout the day. Bringing snacks, drinks, and any personal medication is also recommended. A notebook can be useful for taking notes, although all key information is covered during the session. You may also be asked to bring photo ID, depending on the course requirements. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Screenshot-2026-03-24-134308.png - **Gallery image count**: 0 ## 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.
