The RYA Yachtmaster™ qualification is recognised and respected worldwide, with candidates demonstrating a wide breadth of existing knowledge. This course provides the opportunity to prepare for your exam by covering refresher training in a number of key areas, and culminating in an exam with an external RYA examiner.
A commercially-endorsed Yachtmaster™ Offshore can skipper a commercial vessel up to 150 miles from a safe haven as well as considering other options such as becoming an instructor or progressing to the MCA merchant scheme
The preparation section of the Yachtmaster™Offshorel course is 5 days. The exam is up to 2 days (depending on the number of students) and usually runs immediately after the preparation days. Passing your Yachtmaster™ exam is a fantastic achievement; whether you plan to use the qualification for commercial purposes or will continue to go boating simply for the fun of it.
