from the RYA website: Role The advanced instructor is an experienced instructor with a wide background of sailing experience who has been trained to teach the Performance Sailing and Sailing with Spinnakers courses. Eligibility Candidates must hold the RYA instructor certificate and will usually have recorded at least one season's experience of teaching sailing since qualifying. Candidates will be skilled to at least the level of the Performance Sailing and Sailing with Spinnakers courses and should have previous powerboat handling experience in a teaching environment. Training This is a two day course covering the teaching a boat handling, the use of spinnakers and 5 essentials coaching to the required standard, as well as powerboat driving. Assessment Candidates will be assessed on a continuous basis afloat, and may be given a theory test. Upon successful completion of the course, the Coach/Assessor will sign their logbooks. found at: http://www.ryatraining.org/runningcourses/instructors/instructortraining/Pages/advancedinstructortraining.aspx - http://www.ryatraining.org/runningcourses/instructors/instru ctortraining/Pages/advancedinstructortraining.aspx ------------- the same, but different... |
