RYA Dayskipper theory

Dayskipper theory is for aspiring skippers who wish to gain an entry level qualification enabling them to skipper sailing or motor yacht and charter vessels in countries that require certification. This course is an essential preparation and prerequisite for our RYA Day Skipper Practical course.
You are best advised to complete the classroom course as this gives the best hands-on results. But if your schedule does not allow, we also offer the online version through Skippers Online. During the classroom course you will complete lots of real scenario style exercises to help absorb the learning
The 5 day course includes 2 x 90 minute exams to show you have fully understood everything you have studied during the course. We run the course every month, over weekends, as a Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3.
For those who cannot commit to 5 days in the classroom you can choose an online version run by Skippers Online
