Professional Yachtmaster Training Course at Cumbrae
Monday, January 12, 2009
Cumbrae have asked us to tell our readers about their Professional Yaughtsmaster Training Course being run with them this year....it sounds great!
Introduction
There will be two courses running consecutively at the National Centre Cumbrae this year, both delivering an intensive fully residential programme designed to provide all the skills and qualifications required for starting a career in yachting. The courses will be delivered using the highly qualified and experienced staff at sportscotland’s National Centre Cumbrae. The intensive style of this course would also be ideal for those wishing to gain RYA qualifications for personal recreational use.
Over the 18-week course you will work towards RYA/MCA DoT Yachtmaster (commercially endorsed). This qualification can create opportunities for work onboard yachts, and is essential for aspiring skippers and cruising Instructors, and anyone looking to provide yacht deliveries. It would also be great personal training to confidently cruise your own yacht throughout the world.
The sailing areas will encompass the sheltered waters of the Firth of Clyde and its many islands and will progress into the Irish Sea and up the west coast of Scotland. These areas give possibly the best diversity on offer providing challenging sailing, strong tides, the infamous Corryvreckan whirlpool, a variety of anchorages and superb scenery.
In addition to sailing a variety of yachts, there will be opportunities to try your hand at dinghy sailing, windsurfing and powerboating. There will be onshore sessions that cover the wide range of shorebased subjects and towards the end of the course you will have the chance to ‘self skipper’ the boat. This will provide invaluable experience as skipper.
There are a maximum number of five clients on the course. This will ensure a personal, friendly and professional service, which will be supported by our highly experienced team of instructors.
There are numerous courses run throughout the UK that have a far higher intake of clients. However we believe quality rather than quantity is important.
The course will take considerable commitment both financially and personally. With this in mind there will be Information Days on 1st Feb 2009 and 21st June 2009. These information days will explain in more detail the course, syllabus, structure and the career opportunities.
The information days carry no charge and there is no obligation whatsoever. For those that require it accommodation is available on Sunday night.
Pre-booking for the information day is essential.
To book on to an information day please contact the centre on (01475)530757 or email cumbraecentre@sportscotland.org.uk and see the website at wwwnationalcentrecumbrae.org.uk/yachtmaster-training.asp
