Desperate Plea - Instructor course

Originally posted by Jamie600 Nathan, A long shot but try the RS Association, they were offering to train people up to become RS Coaches so there's a chance you could maybeteam up with someone there

Sorry to say but the RS coach course is different from the RYA Dinghy Instructor.

Well i'm going to be on £85 a week, food and accomodation provided. I even get travel paid to and from the centre in the south of france. (But i still need a qualification.)

Another one to consider - Hollingworth Lake near Rochdale. Similar price wise, dates 3-5th may then 10-11th may (2 weekends)

Same story - i'm booked on but im the only person.

Cheers

At places abroad (sunsail, rockley, neilson etc) that include accomodation, expect about £80 or so a week after deducations, of which it is common to receive about €50 a week in cash with the remainder paid into your bank account. Gnerally, this cash amount remains the same even if you're a senior, or get bonuses for returning staff, more than one watersport qualification etc- the idea being that everyone is socialising on about the same level of cash.

The rates abroad are not minimum wage- they fall outside it.

You will get more basic pay if you work in the UK. But living costs are also likely to be higher, and so are beer costs. And you won't get as good a tan most summers .

I'd reckon though if you wanted to make a proper living from teaching sailing you're better off staying in the UK.

Southampton is not practical really. The cheap rate is for uni students only. Is anyone interested in carsington?

I worked full time last year form january to september, I was earning if I remembe rigt £5.50 an hour and taking home up to about £800 maybe a bit more a month not alot for the hours I was doing.  I know some centres offer better wages though.  Now I am not teaching I miss being outside but love having my weekend back.
