First Aid Course outline. . . . .
The one day RYA First Aid course is specially designed to cover the medical problems that may be encountered at sea, in addition to basic First Aid. The syllabus includes resuscitation, treatment
of burns and scalds as well as broken bones and other injuries. The course also includes training in the use of category C drugs that are carried aboard many yachts, including commercial vessels.
Enquire here.
Who needs the course? . . . . .
A First Aid certificate is a prerequisite for anyone considering taking any of the RYA Instructors courses or Coastal Skipper and Yachtmaster practical assessments. The course is a useful reassurance for anyone who goes
to sea either as Skipper or Crew. There is no formal assessment during the course, students will be awarded the RYA First Aid Certificate which
is valid for three years from the date of issue after completing the course. A copy of the First Aid Manual will be provided to all students on arrival. Enquire here.
This course is designed to provide a working knowledge of first aid for instructors, skippers and crews of small craft
working within 60 miles of a safe haven. The syllabus is based on the recommendations of the Health & Safety Executive and DoT. This certificate also fulfils the requirements of the DoT code of practice for small
commercial vessels. For commercial sailors and watersports instructors the course has to be taken every three years. Once trained most people
draw little on their First Aid knowledge, but aligning this with changes in first aid practices and recently CPR, refresher courses
are a must for the serious minded in health and safety. Enquire here.
