Applicants must read and agree to abide by the RYA Instructor Code of Conduct (see www.rya.org.uk/go/instructors). Failing to abide by the Code of Conduct, or otherwise engaging in behaviour that falls below the standard expected of an RYA instructor or risks bringing the RYA into disrepute, may result in the withdrawal of RYA qualifications.
The course trainer can exclude a candidate from a session or from the course if they refuse to follow the reasonable directions of the course trainer, misconduct themselves or cause damage or annoyance to other persons.

The RYA reserves the right to refuse to grant an instructor qualification to a candidate should that candidate have a restriction imposed on their commercial endorsement by the MCA. It is strongly recommended that candidates obtain an up to date ML5 or ENG1 medical certificate prior to applying for this course. If your commercial endorsement has a restriction imposed on it by the MCA, you are advised to contact the RYA before applying for this course.

• You will comply at all times with the instructions of the RYA appointed course trainers.

If notice is given less than 5 weeks before the start of the course, we will make every effort to fill your place in which case we will retain 25% of the full course fee as a cancellation fee and the balance will be reimbursed to you. If the space remains unsold you remain liable for the full amount. The course fee cannot be refunded for any reason once the course has started.

If you have already chosen a lesson for the Teaching in the Classroom course please ensure you choose a different subject. Further guidance on planning your lesson can be found in the relevant course booklet:
