RYA VHF Marine Radio Course (SRC)
This one-day course (plus exam) is perfect for anyone looking to operate a marine VHF radio — an essential skill for safe and effective communication while boating. You’ll learn about radio functionality, how to relay information clearly and quickly, and get hands-on experience using and speaking over the radio.
This course covers the Short Range Certificate (SRC), which is the minimum qualification required by law for those using VHF and VHF Digital Selective Calling (DSC) equipment on board any British flagged vessel.
RYA First Aid
Our one-day RYA First Aid Course covers all the usual first aid subjects, but from a boating perspective.

Ideal for sailors of all kinds — including those working towards their Coastal Skipper Yachtmaster or Advanced Powerboat certification.

A basic introduction to navigation and safety for anyone new to boating: sailors, powerboaters, sea anglers, divers and boat masters. Also useful for experienced dinghy and keelboat sailors and inshore racers. It is the perfect stepping stone to the more in-depth Day Skipper and Yacht master theory course.
