RYA First Aid

The one day RYA First Aid course covers all the usual subjects but from a boating perspective and is suitable for anyone who goes afloat. It fulfills the requirements for professional skippers working within 60 miles of a safe haven, including boatmasters, and is also recognised as a senior first aid certificate for offshore racers subject to ISAF special regulations. The course fee includes the book and the RYA certificate.
