RYA qualifications are known and respected the world over. Their theory courses provide the recreational sailor or aspiring professional with the essential elements of navigation and seamanship and are the core of the RYA Sail Cruising and Power syllabus. The theory course is an essential foundation if you are planning to complete the associated practical course.

We’ve teamed up with the leading online provider of RYA interactive courses to deliver the best possible training products for enabling students to study for and pass RYA examinations. Their high-quality courses are interactive, and fully flexible – using stunning 3d graphics, animations and narrations to make their lessons fun and engaging.
