Yachting Australia

Safety & Sea Survival Course

A reminder for those wishing to take part in the Rolex Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race to ensure their SSSC certificate is current.  Please do not leave it until last minute to sign up for a course as the cut off period for receipt of applications for SSSC certifiates is December 14th - a week earlier than usual.   We will not be able to guarantee that we can process courses where we receive the paperwork after the 14th December.   A list of accredited Training Centres can be found at the following link .

New Instructor Renewal Process

If your Instructor Renewal was due in September and you did NOT receive notification by email, this is because your details need updating through 'My Sailor'.  Please login using your Yachting Australia ID (or membership number) and password and 'edit' your personal information.  Alternatively, please email training@yachting.org.au to renew.  Note: it is a YATC condition of recognition that all instructors be current when teaching at a YATC.

Instructor Training

This is still an area that we are looking to develop as there are several YATC's struggling to find qualified instructors.  If you are either a parent who would like to develop your skills or a Club member that would like to become an instructor, or indeed an existing Club/School thinking of afilliating as a YATC, please let us or your State Yachting Aussociation (MYA) know so that we may facilitate with the delivery of Instructor Training in your area.  Alternatively, you can check out our Training Calendar  from the homepage (under 'Events') to see what is available in your area.
