Using the RYA syllabus, the course has been carefully built into six tutorial and assessment modules.
Each module is divided into a series of topics each with interactive and fully illustrated teaching material that provides you with a progressive and logical route to understanding. The seventh module is reserved for the final assessment. The text is illustrated with over 270 high quality illustrations & video extracts from John Goode's excellent Masterclass series.
Course Duration - Tailored to suit you
Research shows that to complete a course of study students benefit from a defined structure with deadlines, otherwise study tends to take second place to other demands. We have designed this course to have an average duration of 7 weeks to enable students to pace themselves. However we appreciate the need for flexibility, which is why the course can studied at any pace from 1 week up to a maximum of 12 months. This allows you to spread your study over a period to suit you.
How does the system work ?
- You will receive your student support pack, containing all you need to complete the course, through the post. Detailed list of pack contents
- You will be assigned a fully qualified RYA instructor who will mark your assessment exercises and guide you through the complete course.
