RYA First Aid TrainingUnknown

Simon Winkley Marine is based in Surrey and, as a RYA Recognised Training Centre (RTC), specialises in the delivery of the RYA First Aid course. This course can either be arranged at the main operating base - Queen Mary Sailing Club (Surrey, SW London - click for location) - or brought to your sailing club/watersports centre.

Cleanliness of Equipment

Candidates are provided with a full-sized Laerdal Little Anne manikin for their sole use on the course. Prior to each course, manikins are deep-cleaned and fitted with a brand new lung. All reasonable and responsible measures will be made to provide safe and effective life-saving first aid training.

About the course

Simon's first aid courses incorporate presentations, short films, demonstrations, discussions, role-play scenarios and hands-on student practice to nurture confidence. With engaging examples of real situations from watersports and the outdoors the courses aim to be stimulating and enjoyable. Participants should take away the clear and positive message that the role of the first aider is simple yet rewarding with great benefits for those injured or suddenly taken ill.

The operating base is Queen Mary Sailing Club (with the option to bring the course to your club/centre as detailed above). The duration of the course is 8 hours and can be delivered in either one full day or two shorter days. The maximum instructor-to-student ratio is 1:12.

The cost of the course is £95 per person. RYA First Aid books are included for each candidate as well as the RYA certificate (upon successful completion of the course). Please get in touch for group rates or for the cost of Simon delivering this course at your own suitably recognised RYA Training Centre.
