RYA jet ski Instructor Course
RYA Jet Ski Instructor Course Overview
The RYA Jet Ski Instructor Course is a three day course that builds upon existing jet ski experience and aims to teach the necessary skills and techniques to develop learners into fully competent jet ski instructors.
Personal Watercraft (PW) Instructors are experienced personal watercraft drivers that have been trained and assessed to run the following RYA Courses:
- The Personal Watercraft Proficiency Course
- The Introduction to Personal Watercraft Safety course (which is for guests on Superyacht charter holidays and ski riders alike).
This three day course is run by an RYA Personal Watercraft Trainer and assessed by an independent Trainer with a moderation on the third day.
Candidates that are already qualified as an RYA Powerboat Instructor may attend a one day conversion course, rather than the full three day course.
