Course Outline

The Combined RYA Day Skipper Theory and Practical course runs over 9 days – starting on a Saturday and finishing on the Sunday 9 days later. It is the fastest way to complete the training and it works well if you can manage the high workload of the theory element which is compressed into 4 days 0900 to 1700 each day plus homework for the first 3 nights. If you are doubtful about this we recommend that you consider a separate theory course - classroom, home study or hybrid online and then book a separate day skipper practical.

The 9 day course price includes all essential study materials, accommodation aboard from nights 4 (Tuesday) to 8 (Saturday) and meals aboard from lunch on Day 5 to lunch on Day 9.
Extras:
Theory Element: Plotter and dividers (£25 extra) available to buy on Day 1 or add the cost to your course fee on booking. Shore accommodation for 3 nights (Sat to Mon) or travel daily. You can stay aboard the yacht on the Tuesday night.
Practical Element: Wet weather clothing hire at £7 per day capped at £25 for the 5 days. Order and pay as part of the booking process.

NB 9 Day Combined Day Skipper Courses will resume with the first dates scheduled as 16 to 24 October. Additional dates may be scheduled for November and then from February 2022.

Alternatively we recommend that you complete the theory element as a home study or hybrid online course and then book any of the weekend or 5 day options for the Day Skipper Practical.

Theory Course: Classroom (5 days) £395. Home Study (Standard) £225. Hybrid (Home Study plus 9 live online video classes ) £350

You will need a Portland plotter and dividers. Price £25 may be added to your booking.
