Thank you for booking your RYA First Aid Course with us. Please find joining instructions relating to this course below.

About the course

You probably already have information about the course but if you would like to refresh your memory please view our webpage – Course details

All course bookings are subject to our Terms & Conditions of Business which can be found on our website – Terms & Conditions of Business

Books

The cost of the course is inclusive of the RYA’s own First Aid book which you will receive on the morning of the course.

Payment

If payment has not been made in full for this course please contact us.

Remember too that at the time of booking/payment we have a special offer on VHF courses. If you intend booking a VHF course too then it is materially cheaper to do this now as the rate is reduced for that course from £100 to £75 per head (plus RYA fee). You don’t need to decide the dates you will attend the VHF course though and you can schedule a date at some time later – we run these courses every two weeks.

Arrival time, Directions & Parking

Unless agreed otherwise, we start all courses at 9am so please aim to be there 10 – 15mins early to allow you to park and for us to make you a tea/coffee etc. If you are running late or need last minute directions please call the Office number (01202 686666) as it is diverted to our mobiles on the morning of courses.

Things to think about bringing

  • Any medication you take
  • Reading glasses
  • Passport photo for certificate
  • Notepad and pen
  • Your first aid book (if you haven’t reserved one to collect from us on the day)
  • Please wear appropriate clothing. Some of the sessions require you to kneel or lie on the floor of the classroom..

Food

We will provide teas and coffees and you can either get sandwiches from the convenience store on site (Cobbs Quay Marina & Lymington – NOT available at Port of Poole Marina). You should budget about £5 per day for lunch. You are welcome to bring your own packed lunch if you wish.

Accommodation

There are plenty of places to stay in Poole and Lymington to suit all budgets. Bear in mind that if you are booking for just one night that B&Bs will often be reticent to take a one night booking a few weeks ahead of a course but nearer the time will want to fill the bed. Therefore do call any places that said they were full as places seem to free themselves up! If you need any further advice on accommodation please contact our office.  A list of accommodation is available here.

We look forward to welcoming you shortly. If in the meantime you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us.
