Principals and Chief instructors should not use their position within a recognised training centre to promote or endorse alternative training schemes.
All RYA training must be delivered in English unless the centre has been approved by RYA Training and holds specific RYA recognition to deliver courses in another language. Translators are not permitted for any language. Contact RYA Training for further information about delivering in another language.
The RYA does not ‘approve’ centres, it recognises them and, when recognised, licenses them to use the RYA training scheme.
An annual recognition fee is payable to the RYA in April each year except for the calendar year in which recognition is granted. The recognition year runs from 1st April to 31st March.
Some forms of recognition require an inspection prior to approval and subsequent periodic inspections for continued recognition.
Training excludes casual instruction by affiliated club members to friends etc.
