RYA Dinghy Assistant Instructor

Want to share the sport you love?

The Assistant Instructor (AI) award provides recognition for the ‘in- house’ training given to experienced sailors intending to qualify as RYA Dinghy Instructors. The AI is a competent small boat sailor who has been trained to assist instructors in teaching sailing up to the standard of the Level 2- Basic Skills or Stage 3 courses.

Working under the supervision of a qualified Instructor this two day course (20 hours) would be ideal for people thinking of becoming a Dinghy Instructor at a later date or those who wish to help out with training at the club but don’t want the responsibility that goes with full instructor status. The ratio of students to instructors will not exceed 6:1. The course includes a G14 National Sailing Scheme Instructor Handbook.
