Description

This theory course is suitable for both Coastal Skipper and Yachtmaster candidates.

This is an advanced theory course in navigation, safety, meteorology, and IRPCS for candidates wishing to obtain their RYA Coastal Skipper or RYA Yachtmaster Offshore Qualifications.

The RYA Yachtmaster course is the pre-requisite course for the Coastal Skipper and Yachtmaster Offshore practical courses/exams. With a Coastal Skipper or Yachtmaster Offshore certificate you can charter a yacht, reduce your insurance premium or even work at sea. The Yachtmaster qualification is the gold standard for professional yacht skippers worldwide. It is also ideal for those with skippering experience who are wishing to 'expand their horizons' and voyage further afield.

We cover all the course material in text AND video so that you can choose which works best for you.

You will be led through the RYA Coastal Skipper/Yachtmaster Offshore online course module by module with each module broken up into lessons and knowledge checks. We have designed the lessons to be as engaging as possible and the knowledge checks are implemented to consolidate your knowledge and keep you on track when completing our RYA online courses.

At the end of each module there will be a 'module assessment.' These will be made up of the official RYA exercise questions and will give you some familiarity of what the final exam will look like. Your answers to the module assessments are checked by our qualified instructors, your results are saved, and you'll be given personal feedback on your progress.

Have a question? Ask away, we have instructors on hand 7 days a week to answer your queries!

Still not sure? Why not check out our free trial.

Once all the Yachtmaster coursework has been completed, we will help you decide if you are ready for the online RYA Yachtmaster Theory exam. The Yachtmaster exam is broken in to three papers. It's all completed at home, in a format that you will be familiar with from the Yachtmaster module assessments, and you'll be given feedback from your examiner.

There are no extra fees for the exam (unless you need it invigilated for commercial purposes*).

This is not an attendance course and we cannot guarantee everyone who signs up that they will pass the Yachtmaster Theory online exam and get a certificate. However, we do endeavour to coach every student to a passing standard and inspire them along the way and we promise that so long as you are willing to put the effort in and accept our guidance, we won’t give up on you until you pass.

After completing your online RYA Yachtmaster Theory online qualification, you will have the theory needed to take charge of a motor or sail boat in day or night, and in the most challenging coastal and offshore environments.

You will walk away with the RYA Yachtmaster Shorebased certificate. To obtain the full RYA Yachtmaster qualification you will also need to complete the practical exam at a practical centre of your choosing.

*A few students intending to use the RYA Yachtmaster certificate for the MCA Large Yacht qualifications (such as Officer of the Watch or Master 3000) may need to get their final exam invigilated. We will arrange this at the most convenient location available to you, however, as it may involve getting a third party invigilator, there may be a small additional fee to be paid directly to the invigilator. If you think this might apply to you, or are unsure, please get in touch for advice and more information.
