Something for Everyone Out now


Welcome to Ionut


I


onut Albu recently joined RYA Training as our Technical Support Officer. For ease of


pronunciation, you can call him John!


He is your go-to man for


technical problems and questions about our online or digital offerings relating to the delivery of RYA training. He can be contacted on any of the emails addresses below – please choose the one relevant to the issue you are having at the time: » certificate.registration@ rya.org.uk – for any questions regarding logging in to the website, problems using the registration system, certificate numbers not being validated etc.


» ebooks@rya.org.uk – technical problems with buying, downloading or accessing eBooks


» epacks@rya.org.uk – technical problems with providing ePacks to your course students


» training.plotter@rya.org.uk – issues with downloading, installing or using the Training Plotter (please note: he is here to deal with technical problems and will not be able to help people learn how to navigate!)


» interactive@rya.org.uk – problems with accessing courses on RYA Interactive. The preferred method of


contact is via one of the email addresses above, to allow Ionut to prioritise calls and make sure that every issue is dealt with efficiently and effectively. It should be training centre personnel who contact us with technical questions, not students. We will always do our best to help you to help your students. Please do not ask your students to contact us direct.

RYA Astro Navigation Handbook eBook Order code: e-G78 RYA Members’ price: £10.19 RRP: £11.99 This new digital version of Tim Bartlett’s RYA Astro Navigation


ePacks


We have recently introduced digital versions of the course packs for the following three courses, in addition to that already available for the RYA Marine Radio SRC Course. These are: » RYA Level 2 Powerboat Handling Course


» RYA Inland Waterways Helmsman’s Course


» RYA Personal Watercraft Proficiency Course This is a really exciting


development as it will allow our eBooks to become more integrated with our courses for students who prefer to read and store digital books rather than printed books. ePacks are already proving popular with our training centres as postage costs will be reduced. However there are a few conditions and considerations associated with their use. If you


are thinking of offering them at your centre, please take time to read the relevant Training Notice (TN11-16) and Training Guidance (TG15-15). The main points to bear in mind


are: 1. If you choose to offer ePacks you must also offer the usual printed packs and allow students to choose which format they receive.


2. You will need to be fully conversant with the process that your students follow to download the RYA eBook app and claim the eBook that is part of their pack. You will also be expected to support them with basic technical queries. The technical support is not difficult and all the information you need is available on the website to enable you to be the first line of support for your students.
