C5.3 Minimum course duration Instructor : Student ratio


Single handers, Ratio of 1:1 and small group tuition only (max ratio 1:3)


All double handed and keelboat tuition, and single-handed, ratio 1:4 and above


*Additional notes:


For 2021 RYA Training have introduced ‘reduced on water practical’ tuition for 1:1 and small group tuition, single handers only. If a centre wishes to adopt this approach the minimum on-water tuition time must include the following considerations:


• Only whilst single-hander boats are used by individuals, not for double-handed tuition


• The above on-water times are a ‘minimum’ guide, students may require additional time to reach the required level, for example when courses are delivered over a series of sessions.


• The hours specified above are required ‘on-water’ tuition hours. Further consideration must be taken for the full ‘course duration’, including allowances for arrival, changing and breaks.


To enable the gathering of information on the effectiveness of this approach, and to consider permanent inclusion we would be grateful if all participating centres/clubs would provide intermittent feedback through the form ‘On Water Tuition Hours Survey’:
