RYA BASIC FIRST AID




Develop your skills with our RYA Basic First Aid + Cat C Drugs
The RYA First Aid is a 1 day course. Clients include those that are new to first aid at sea, existing qualified first aiders and students who would like to complete for their commercial CoC. At Harbourside Sea School we include Defibrillator and Cat C drugs training as part of the package.
Is the RYA Basic First Aid right for me?
The PWC course is designed to give students an understanding of first aid at sea. Some students will require this for their commercial endorsement.
Previous experience?
No this course is suitable for all students over the age of 12 years old.
What will I learn?
Our one-day course covers all the usual first aid subjects, but from a boating perspective. It is aimed at anyone who goes afloat, whether on inland waters, rivers, estuaries or on cross channel passages.
In a medical emergency a little first aid knowledge and immediate action can save lives, especially in remote locations. This one-day course is designed to provide a working knowledge of first aid for people using small craft and to support skippers.
