Types of recognition Depending on the specific course, RYA shorebased training may be offered in the classroom, as an RYA online course or as a distance learning course created by an Recognised Training Centre (RTC).
RGN D1 D1.1 Introduction
Where a course is available in more than one format through an RTC, students must be offered a clear choice of how they may take the course. The online or distance learning format does not suit all students and not everyone will have access to a compatible device for their course.
The RYA does not grant recognition for an RTC to deliver solely distance learning or RYA online courses.
It is not normally the policy of the RYA to grant recognition to training centres for just one specialist subject e.g. Diesel Engine only.
