Managing Your Centre Course delivery and supervision


RGN B8 B8.1 Introduction


The combination of supervision standards and ratios is geared towards ensuring that tuition is safe, educational and fun. A summary of the required instructor qualifications and ratios is given below, and further scheme specific information can be found in the Practical Centres and Shorebased Centres sections.


The instructional and safety ratios in these Recognition Guidance Notes are given as a minimum requirement. The nature or complexity of a centre’s operation must be taken into account when determining a centre’s specific staffing. A higher level of staffing may be required by the RYA.


Course programmes should be available and show that the entire syllabus (as detailed in the relevant RYA publication) for every level for which recognition is granted is adequately covered.


The instructional time stated in the relevant logbook and instructor handbook should be considered the minimum time required.


Visual aids appropriate to the level of courses being offered should be provided. At the most basic level, a white board or similar should be available. Relevant course notes/logbooks must be supplied to students and a range of backup materials such as handbooks and DVDs should be available as reference material.


A system for monitoring and communicating with the students regarding progress through the course must be in place.


It is essential that students are updated with their progress throughout their course so they can help manage their learning. In small centres this is relatively simple with good communication between instructor and student. In larger centres, particularly those offering longer programmes of tuition, it may be necessary to have a formal system in place to enable continuity and communication between multiple instructors and the students.


Centres offering online or distance learning courses, although not communicating face to face with students, there must be a system in place for regular communication and support.


Training aids:


Good quality training and visual aids appropriate to the courses being offered should be available, examples of aids include reference handbooks (both eBook and print), videos animations and dummy equipment such as blank flares or EPIRBs. Instructors may also provide their own additional training aids.
