Many of the publications and packs above are also available as eBooks. See the Recognised Training Centre Price List for details.
Training aids:
Visual aids appropriate to the courses being offered should be provided along with materials such as handbooks, videos, animations and eBooks. Instructors should also provide their own additional training aids.
C7.7 Equipment
PWs should be equipped as per the Training Vessel. However, PWs accompanied by a safety boat equipped as per the Powerboat Training Vessel Checklist are required only to carry those items in the PW checklist which do not feature on the powerboat checklist.
Consideration should be given to the use of impact vest buoyancy aids, to provide both personal buoyancy and protection of the torso. Wetsuits or neoprene shorts should be available for students on PW courses to provide protection against internal injury from falling off at speed or into an active jet.
See Training Checklist.
C7.8 Additional requirements for Introduction to PW Safety Courses The operating procedures for RYA PW training on board should be incorporated into the vessel’s safety management system.
Training centres delivering this course will, by the nature of their normal business, move to different locations throughout the year. This means that each time RYA training is delivered a risk assessment of the operating area is required.
Before training, the instructor in charge of the session should clearly identify the training area to be used. This should be agreed with the centre Principal. Where practically possible, the agreed area should be free from hazards. Any hazards remaining should be clearly identified, recorded and all students made aware of them. The training area should be within sight of the training centre.
Instructors working afloat should have an effective means of communication with the mother ship.
Holders of the Introduction to Personal Watercraft Safety Certificate must be supervised at all times when afloat. Supervision will be either from a safety boat/tender or from a suitable vantage point overlooking the area of operation. A safety boat or tender should be launched and available during supervised sessions.
Once training is complete, subsequent supervision may be by crew holding the RYA PW Instructor qualification or by crew who hold at least the RYA Introduction to PW Safety qualification, are trained in the operations of the centre and hold the RYA Powerboat Level 2 Certificate to drive the safety boat.
Should the PWs leave sight of the mother vessel, they should be accompanied by a safety boat appropriately equipped to communicate effectively.
