The INSS are delighted to announce a series of RYA programmes for instructors this Easter.
The Irish National Sailing & Powerboat School is a large RYA Training Centre, delivering sailing and powerboat training programmes to thousands annually. A key part of the operations is the junior RYA programmes. This has resulted in a busy in-house training programme for dinghy, keelboat and senior instructors culminating in RYA Dinghy Instructor courses each Easter.
This year we also are hosting a RYA Senior Instructor Course, with in-house candidates utilising 7 of the 12 places available. Normally the course would not be advertised externally, however, due to an increased interest in RYA qualifications we have. This may be linked to post-Brexit working restrictions, for UK instructors meaning those from the Island of Ireland are starting to fill RYA roles in the Mediterranean each Summer.
The INSS has two courses which have sufficient numbers of in-house candidates to proceed.
- RYA Dinghy Instructor Course – Monday 14th to Friday 18th April
- RYA Senior Instructor Course – Saturday 19th to Tuesday 22nd April
Full details on each of these courses can be found here:
The INSS is located in Dun Laoghaire Harbour, on the South Dublin Coastline. The courses are non-residental, however, there is plenty of good quality accommodation available in the area. All are well connected by frequent bus or train service to our clubhouse:
There’s also a very nice B&B located about 250m from our clubhouse, Connaught House, located on Crofton Road. The family who run the B&B look after our yacht instructors and RYA examiners regularly. They can be contacted on:
