Navigation Pre Course Requirements
The RYA provide pre-requisite guidance or sometimes referred to as Assumed Knowledge, to ensure that all students are best prepared for the next level of training course, within their chosen scheme.
By meeting these requirements, this will ensure that a student or candidate can gain the most out of the training they are undertaking, whilst increasing the chances of successful completion.
