The Professional Practices and Responsibilities course is designed to help you understand your professional practices and responsibilities. If you are intending to apply for or renew a Commercial Endorsement to any of your RYA qualifications then you will need to complete it. Whatever your job is on board a vessel in the commercial world you are considered to be a professional seafarer, and as such you can be held accountable if things go wrong. The course sets out how that duty sits with you. ### Who needs to complete PPR? All new applicants for a commercially endorsed RYA Certificate of Competence must first pass the PPR Course. Anyone renewing a commercially endorsed RYA Certificate of Competence must pass the PPR course prior to their next renewal date, if they have not already done so. That includes skippers, instructors and crew who work under a commercially endorsed RYA ticket, whether the endorsement sits on Powerboat Level 2, Advanced or another RYA Certificate of Competence. ### What do the four modules cover? Commercial environment covers how you fit into the professional maritime world. People covers the importance of correct manning, keeping your skills up to date and the safe management of commercial vessels. Vessel covers the compulsory carriage and maintenance of safety equipment and how to create and implement risk control and operating procedures. Purpose covers making sure your vessel is suitable and legal for the work you are carrying out, your obligations in protecting the environment, appropriate planning and situational awareness. ### How long does the course take? We estimate users will take around 6 to 8 hours to work through the four course modules. You study in your own time, so you can pause and come back to a module rather than sitting it all in one sitting. Following the modules there is a mock assessment so you can check you are ready. The graded end of course assessment is split into two sections, totalling 2 and a half hours. ### Can I complete PPR at the training centre instead of at home? Yes. It is an online course taken in your own time and at home, and you are welcome to come into our training centre and complete the course if you prefer. The classroom is at 40 High Street, Menai Bridge. The modules and the graded assessment are the same either way. The classroom option simply gives you a quiet desk and the same High Street setting as our other shore-based courses. ### Is there a mock assessment before the real one? Yes. Following the four modules there is a mock assessment so you can check you are ready before moving on to the final graded online assessment. It is there to show you the style of the questions, not to catch you out. The graded paper is then split into two sections, totalling 2 and a half hours. Work through the mock first so you know which module you want to revisit. ### Do I need PPR every time I renew a commercial endorsement? Anyone renewing a commercially endorsed RYA Certificate of Competence must pass the PPR course prior to their next renewal date, if they have not already done so. If you have already passed PPR, you do not sit it again for that renewal. New applicants must pass it before the endorsement is issued. Keep the certificate with your other commercial paperwork, alongside First Aid, VHF and sea survival. ### What do I need to start the modules? A computer or tablet with internet access is enough for home study. The course is broken into four modules you can work through in your own time, so you do not need a radio, a boat or a classroom to begin. If you would rather not study at home, the Menai Bridge classroom is available for the same modules. Bring only what you need for a quiet study day. ### How does PPR sit with a Commercial Certificate of Competence? A commercially endorsed Certificate of Competence is the RYA ticket for operating commercially, and PPR is one of the certificates you need before that endorsement is issued or renewed. It sits alongside First Aid, VHF and sea survival on the application. Passing PPR does not replace the COC exam itself. It shows you understand the professional practices and responsibilities that come with working on a commercial vessel. ### Is the course only for skippers? No. Whatever your job is on board a vessel in the commercial world you are considered to be a professional seafarer. The modules cover people, the vessel and the purpose of the trip, not only the person at the helm. Instructors, crew and skippers applying for or renewing a commercial endorsement all use the same four modules and the same graded assessment. ## 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/2025/04/DSC06160_11zon-scaled.webp - **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.
