When I was working as an AI (at 14), we were under the supervision of instructors but at the same time if we were confident enough on a subject we were allowed to teach pretty much anything under supervision. A lot of the time it was on the water and rarely went into theory stuff because the instructors course is based upon how to convey teaching skills and assumes you are very compedent at sailing because you have passed a pre-assessment before.

According to my book AIs have to be under supervision of an SI and under direct supervision of an instructor. Quite a few places (in my experience anyway) have rules where powerboats have to have PB2 (to hold full PB2 you have to be 16) or you have to be 16 to even learn. Apparently the AI certificate's only valid at the centre it was awarded at, I hadn't realised that before! All these people teaching as AIs/under 16 or whatever, what have you been teaching?

When I did my course I was only 15 and had my qualification held until I was 16, so it was possible but that was over at least six years ago. Probably to do with the fact that the course was held at the end of the season & my birthday was before the start of the next. Got a funny feeling I did my my Powerboat course when I was 15 & had people on the course a year younger than us. I'm not too sure but I think at that time our rescue boats were insured for drivers over 14 but that was many years ago and things could have changed since then......

You need a L2 powerboat certificate to get an instructor certificate I think.  You can do the powerboat certificate before you're 16 but it will be endorsed so it isn't in full effect until you are 16.

If you are U16 and instructing (without direct adult supervision) your parents need to check the clubs' insurance policy as they might be liable for any accident!

Er i dont think so but theres not much point because the certificate has to go from the date the course was done even if its not fully signed off till later ( I found this out via a delayed first aid cert)
