RYA Assistant Dinghy instructor Course
What is the course?
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 (adult) or Stage 3 (cadet) courses at NDYC. (It is not transferable to other training centres)
Working under the supervision of a qualified Instructor this two-day course 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.
