RYA/MCA Yachtmaster Coastal/Yachtmaster Offshore Exam Preparation

RYA Yachtmaster Exam Preparation

Yachtmaster prep is a week on a yacht with an instructor honing your skills prior to a RYA/MCA Coastal Skipper or RYA/MCA Yachtmaster Offshore exam.

Our Yachtmaster preparation instructors are all Yachtmaster instructors, or Yachtmaster examiners, so you can be sure you will be taught by someone who knows exactly what is needed to succeed at Yachtmaster level.

The practical week of exam preparation is preceded by a week long Coastal Skipper / Yachtmaster Offshore theory week at our shorebased training centre at Ringmer nr Lewes. The theory certificate is not a pre-requisite to the exam and subsequent certification but the knowledge gained certainly is.

RYA VHF DSC radio, RYA First Aid and RYA Sea Survival courses run on the weekends before, during or immediately after the two weeks of theory and exam prep..

Candidates seeking a commercial endorsement will require RYA Sea Survival and a medical.

For more about commercial endorsements visit: www.rya.org.uk

To download the medical form go to the MCA website: www.mcga.gov.uk and type 'ML5' in the search box.

Associated courses

Yachtmaster Coastal and Yachtmaster Offshore candidates may like to consider the following one day RYA courses.

Bear in mind that each of our practical courses entitles the student to a one day course free of charge - you may not have to pay for some of the following when studying with Mustang.

The VHF Radio licence is an essential qualification and a legal requirement wherever you sail.

The RYA Sea Survival course has been mentioned above, it is a potential life saver and should be taken by all responsible sailors along with it's stable mate the RYA/ISAF Offshore Safety course.

The RYA Diesel engine course is very useful if you are not a natural 'tinkerer' with things mechanical and the RYA Radar course is ever more popular with radar becoming more affordable. Radar tends to be viewed as a collision avoidance tool but actually has a much wider remit as a powerful pilotage tool.
