Annual inspections RGN B1 B1.1 Annual inspection


Annual inspections can take place any time during the year and not necessarily on the anniversary of the previous inspection.


A centre should be inspected every year for practical courses and every five years for Marine Radio and Sea Survival courses.


Prior to an inspection, the inspector will contact the Principal to arrange a suitable time and the Principal/Chief Instructor should complete the shaded section of the Centre Inspection Report.


The Principal must make effort to facilitate the inspection and the Chief Instructor(s) must be present. If the Principal/Chief Instructor does not facilitate the inspection, the centre may be suspended until an inspection has taken place.


During the inspection, equipment and/or vessels must be available for each discipline for which recognition is held. Teaching aids and lesson plans must be available and the inspector may require to see a course in action.


B1.2 Action plans


An action plan will be complete if any items require attention. The action plan will be forwarded to the RYA and a copy left with the centre for action.


Centres must complete all action points within the timescale set on the form. Failure to complete action points within the timescale may result in suspension of recognition pending completion of the action plan.


There are three categories of action points:


• A: Requiring immediate attention. Training related to the action point must not take place until action is complete. In some cases this may mean temporary suspension.


• B: Action must be completed within three months • C: Action must be completed before next annual inspection.


The centre must confirm when all actions have been completed.


Subject to the nature of the action points, a second inspection may be required to verify compliance. This will be discussed between the inspector and Principal at the time of issuing the action plan. An additional inspection fee and costs will be charged if a subsequent inspection is required.
