RYA Theory courses are suitable for anyone who goes to sea. In short they give you the skills you need to get safely from A to B. They are equally relevant for sailors and motor boaters and can be tailored to your experience and aspirations, whilst still following the syllabus.
At First Class Sailing we make our RYA Navigation Theory Courses as convenient and easy to get to as possible. That's why our RYA shorebased navigation courses can be held anywhere that suits you. This could be at your office in London, at other different locations up and down the country, or at our own study centre in the capital.
