Professional qualifications
The standard of excellence, the sign of quality - RYA Training.
RYA training stands out as a badge of quality wherever you work in the world. Our expertise and experience in developing training courses, together with the backing of the British Governments Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA), help to demonstrate why RYA qualifications stand out.
From local watersports managers and instructors to military personnel and superyacht captains, an RYA qualification takes your career forward. RYA instruction is supported by people working in the business, so you will also benefit from their real world experience. These people are proof that the RYA is a passport to achieving your goals.
The sheer number of people we have trained, and the commercial success they have found all over the world confirms the value of the training the RYA provides. Over 11,000 professionals working on commercial vessels across the world have RYA Certificates of Competence.
They choose the RYA because we are the largest and longest-established organisation to offer training, and we have a global reputation for quality. We work with governments and other key organisations to develop courses that ensure a level of excellence that is familiar to everyone - especially employers - wherever they live or work.
We know our business, and with a RYA qualification it will be clear that you know yours too
