The RYA First Aid Course itself is a full day of 8 hours tuition; you will be issued with a St John First Aid manual on the day of your course.
We deliver the RYA First Aid courses to a maximum of 8 persons per course at a time. We believe that you should receive the maximum hands on practice time when it comes to CPR and life support skills.
On successful completion of the RYA First Aid course you will receive your RYA First Aid certificate, which is valid for 3 years. This fulfils the requirements for skippers of MCA Coded vessels up to category 2 including boatmasters and all RYA practical instructors.
