The RYA Pre-Entry Assessment is a required step before joining the instructor course and is designed to confirm confidence, control, and consistency on the water. Sailors attending should already be comfortable sailing at an advanced level and ready to demonstrate their skills under assessment conditions. 🧭 Key Details Assessment: RYA Pre-Entry Assessment Duration: 1 day Ages: 16+ Experience level: Advanced ⛵ Key Skills Advanced boat handling and control Confident sail trim and balance in varied conditions Execution of RYA Seamanship Skills afloat Clear, consistent manoeuvres under pressure Strong awareness of boat handling and safety 📘 Assessment Overview Assessment day begins with an onshore briefing outlining how the day will run, what assessors are looking for, and how skills are judged. Expectations are clearly explained so sailors understand the standard required and how their sailing will be observed throughout the day. Time on the water focuses on demonstrating advanced sailing techniques rather than coaching or practice. Sailors are asked to perform a range of manoeuvres that show control, awareness, and good decision-making. Seamanship skills form a key part of the assessment, with emphasis on calm handling, accuracy, and consistency rather than speed. 📍 Location Sailing takes place within Poole Harbour, an ideal environment for advanced assessment sailing. Sheltered waters allow clear observation of technique, while tidal conditions provide a realistic setting for testing seamanship skills. Shore facilities nearby support briefings and debriefs, ensuring the day runs smoothly and professionally. ✅ Prerequisites Candidates must be aged 16 or over and already sailing to RYA Advanced standard, including completion of RYA Seamanship Skills.

Anyone unsure whether they meet the required standard is strongly encouraged to complete a training day or preparation week beforehand. 🌊 Why Choose Us The assessment is hosted by a centre with long-standing experience delivering instructor pathways and supporting sailors through RYA qualifications.
