Training Notices Change in revalidation process for RYA appointment holders


Reference: TN 13-16 Issue date: 1 September 2016 Applies to: » RYA Coach Assessors, Windsurfing Trainers, Powerboat Trainers, Personal Watercraft Trainers, Inland Waterways Trainers, Cruising Instructor Trainers and Yachtmaster Instructor Trainers


Detail As of January 2017, the revalidation process for RYA appointment holders will require attendance at an appropriate RYA national training conference. These would typically be those organised by RYA Training and do not include regional workshops or conferences. This additional requirement has been put in place to maintain active engagement with the RYA and its training schemes, ensuring the currency and immersion in RYA updates of its key appointed ambassadors. Conference attendance must be applicable to the


appointment held. If more than one appointment is held, attendance will be required at each applicable conference. For example, a Coach Assessor who is also a Yachtmaster Instructor Trainer, must attend both conferences within the five year appointment cycle. With RYA training schemes


increasingly in demand globally, it may be possible for an appointee to attend an RYA conference outside the UK. This must be approved by RYA Training in advance. From January 2017, the process


for RYA appointment holders to be considered for revalidation will be as follows: 1. Attendance at an RYA practical revalidation every five years


2. Attendance at the National Conference appropriate to the RYA appointment held, within the five year revalidation period (see below)


3. Compulsory activity requirement within the five year appointment period (see below)
