Suspension of recognition, whether by the RYA or voluntarily at the request of a centre, will not normally be permitted to last for longer than a period of one year. During the period of suspension a centre must not advertise, promote or sell courses within the suspended discipline(s), by any means, and must not deliver RYA training within the suspended discipline(s).
A9.4 Withdrawal of Recognition
The RYA may, in its absolute discretion, withdraw its recognition of a centre in the following circumstances:
• a centre commits what the RYA considers to be a material breach of the Conditions of Recognition;
• a centre commits multiple or repeated minor breaches of the Conditions of Recognition;
• recognition of a centre has been suspended by the RYA and that centre fails, within the specified timeframe, either to complete any associated action plan determined by the RYA or otherwise to rectify its breach of the Conditions of Recognition;
• recognition of a centre has been suspended voluntarily at the request of the centre and that centre fails, within the specified timeframe, to comply with the Conditions of Recognition;
• in its reasonable opinion, the RYA does not have confidence in a centre’s management or its ability to maintain the standards specified in the Conditions of Recognition.
• Examples of what the RYA considers to be a material breach of the Conditions of Recognition by a centre include, but are not limited to, the following:
• operating unlawfully; • operating unsafely; • operating without the required insurance; • operating outside the centre’s specified area of operation; • purporting to deliver RYA training in disciplines for which the centre is not recognised; • delivering RYA training through instructors who are not qualified in the relevant disciplines; • failing to register certificates that are required to be registered online; and
• failing to pay to the RYA such sums as may be due to it from the centre, as and when they become due.
Any delay by the RYA in taking action in response to a breach of the Conditions of Recognition by a centre does not amount to a waiver of the RYA’s right to take such action.
Should the RYA withdraw its recognition of a centre, the centre must not thereafter advertise or claim in any way that it is or has previously been recognised by the RYA. The RYA may publicise through such media channels as it sees fit the fact that it has withdrawn its recognition of a centre.
