Youth First Aid Course

A RYA First Aid Course for youth members only.

A one-day RYA First Aid course which covers all the usual first aid subjects, but from a boating perspective. It is aimed at anyone who goes afloat, whether on inland waters, rivers, estuaries or on cross channel passages. This course is MCA approved. Among other topics it covers CPR and the use of a defibrillator (AED).

This course is for members aged 14 to 18 only, and is aimed primarily at those who have aspirations to become assistant instructors or dinghy instructors (although spaces are open to any youth member within the age range). We thought it would be good to be able to offer some classroom training for our younger members.

The course is being run by Mark Olliver and is at no cost to members. Sign up is through the website as for all courses.
