An RYA Advanced Powerboat Trainer will run practical and theory sessions on all aspects of the Advanced syllabus. Prior to the course you will receive details of a short presentation you will need to deliver during the weekend.

The weekend focuses on the teaching of boat handling, seamanship, pilotage and navigation to safely handle a powerboat in rough conditions and in darkness. The course is very involved and requires a high standard of competence to be successful.

Assessment will be continuous throughout the course. Exercises will be run as an assessment of your knowledge and personal boat handling skill.
