Becoming an RYA Dinghy Instructor opens up a world of employment opportunities at BSC, throughout the UK and abroad. You will learn and practice how to teach and inspire dinghy sailors to the tried and tested RYA syllabus, using effective communication styles and teaching methods. The course is led throughout by an RYA coach assessor and moderated on the final day to ensure consistent standards.

This five-day RYA Dinghy Instructor course is taught in both single and double-handed club boats and club power boats. Participant's own boats may not be used.

On successful completion, students will be qualified to teach the RYA Sailing Scheme Levels 1, 2 and 3, Youth Sailing Scheme Stages 1, 2, 3 and 4, plus the Day Sailing and Seamanship Skills courses, under the supervision of a Senior Instructor. Students may also be able to instruct the Sailing with Spinnakers course if suitably experienced and approved by the centre Principal or Chief Instructor. Suitable candidates may receive the Racing Instructor endorsement which enables them to also teach the Start Racing course and, if approved by the centre Principal/CI, the Club Racing and Regional Racing.

  1. Be aged 16 or older at the end of the course
