This essential one day First Aid course is for anyone that gets afloat

As the skipper of a vessel you have a responsibility to be able to care for your crew. The one day RYA First Aid course is run by experienced RYA instructors with a good appreciation of medical care afloat and develops the confidence and ability to perform basic first aid when on the water – an essential course for everyone.

The syllabus is based on the recommendations of the Health and Safety Executive and the Maritime and Coastguard Agency. The certificate fulfils the requirements of the MCA Code of Practice for the skippers of small commercial vessels up to category 2 and for all RYA practical instructors.

The course is a mixture of theoretical and practical, covering all the usual first aid subjects but from a boating perspective.

You will cover:

Bone breaks and splinting
Bleeding and bandaging
Burns
Hypothermia
Drowning
Resuscitation
Category C First Aid Kits
Using a defibrillator

And much more.

What’s the minimum age?

The guide minimum age is 12 years old. We have based this on the physical aspects of administering CPR. 12-16 year olds must be accompanied by an adult.

How long is the licence valid?

Your licence will be registered with the RYA and is valid for 3 years.

How many will be on the course?

We like to limit our courses to a maximum of 8 to ensure we have plenty of time to cover everything and to allow you lots of hands on time for the practical elements of the course.

Do I need any prior experience?

No prior experience is needed at all.

Lunch money or packed lunch, there are plenty of local places to get a bite
Notepad and pen

Although this is aimed at personnel going afloat – this will equally suit anyone wanting to get First Aid qualified.
