RYA First Aid
An MCA approved one day first aid course, this covers all of the usual first aid subjects but with a marine focus. This course is perfect for anyone who spends time on or near the water, and means you'll know what to do if things go wrong. The day includes practical use of first aid equipment and training aids, and is lead by an experienced and knowledgable instructor.
​
The course satisfies the requirements for Yachtmaster and Advanced Powerboat certificates of competance, RYA Instructors and some commercial work afloat, amongst others. It is also suitable for those who wish to commercially endorse an RYA qualification.
​
The course covers the minimum requirements for the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 for the purposes of Emergency First Aid at Work, and the certificate comes with an annex stating this and showing the course outcomes.
