Accreditation

FACT is a Recognised Training Centre (RTC) for the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) (telephone 0845 345 0400) – the UK governing body for sailing & powerboating, and our activities are inspected by the Adventure Actvitiy Licensing Authority (AALA) (telephone 029 20 755715). These bodies make regular inspections to approve the standard and maintenance of the activity, the safety equipment and the staff training. Where appropriate, all staff are provided training and support in order to fulfil any requirements for National Governing Body (NGB)awards.

Climbing, archery, team building games and orienteering are not part of the RYA or AALA schemes but they are subject to the same risk assessment, safety and management procedures. They are supervised and run at a high standard by staff with the appropriate NGB qualifications.
