In a medical emergency a little first aid knowledge and immediate action can save
lives, especially in remote locations. The RYA First Aid one day course is designed
to provide a working knowledge of first aid for people using small craft and to support
skippers. It fulfils the requirements for professional skippers working within 60
miles of a safe haven, including boatmasters and the senior first aid certificate
needed by offshore racers subject to the ISAF regulations on first aid training.
The course is recommended by the MCA and HSE
