About This Course
The RYA First Aid Certificate is essential training for anyone spending time on the water. Whether you are a recreational skipper, a professional crew member, or a water sports instructor, knowing how to respond effectively to a medical emergency can make the difference when help is far away.
The course begins with online pre-study modules that you complete in your own time, covering the theoretical foundations of first aid. The classroom day then focuses on hands-on practice with manikins, AED trainers, and realistic maritime scenarios so that the skills become instinctive.
