About RYA Recognition
Inspections RGN A6 A6.1 Requirement for inspection
Centres applying for practical recognition, or shorebased recognition to deliver the Marine Radio or Sea Survival courses, must be inspected by the RYA prior to recognition being granted.
A6.2 Prior to the inspection Once a centre has been allocated an inspector, the inspector will be able to offer advice prior to their visit. Inspectors are familiar with the constraints of running Recognised Training Centre (RTC). The points are raised on the Centre Inspection Report and during the inspection visit are designed to help prevent centres getting into problems and, if problems do arise, ensure there is a system in place to deal with them.
The Principal and Chief Instructor must make every effort to facilitate the inspection.
The Principal or Chief Instructor must fill out the shaded sections of the Centre Inspection Report and the relevant Training Checklist, and have them ready for the inspector.
A6.3 During the inspection The Principal and Chief Instructor(s) should be present during an inspection. In some circumstances it may be impractical for the Principal and all Chief Instructors to be present. However, as a minimum, the Principal or a Chief Instructor must be present during the inspection.
The person(s) representing the centre must have sufficient understanding of the centre’s recognition and operating practices to be able to facilitate the inspection and address any questions that arise.
Where a Principal is not present for the inspection it is important that an Inspection Report Form is completed and signed by the Principal in advance and made available to the relevant Chief Instructor(s) facilitating the inspection. The Chief Instructor must have authority from the Principal to sign acceptance of any action plan set by the inspector.
The vessel or appropriate training equipment for each discipline/course for which recognition is sought must be available.
The inspector will go through each point on the Centre Inspection Report. Proof of conformity may be required.
With the exception of centres offering the Yachtmaster scheme and Marine Radio course, the inspector will expect to observe tuition during the visit. The inspector will expect to see evidence that tuition is safe, informative and enjoyable.
The inspector will ensure the Principal clearly understands the requirements of the RYA as to the proper running of an RYA RTC.
