Cruising Scheme

Yachtmaster Offshore Shorebased Course Attendance Certificate (Sail)

Aim

The ISA Yachtmaster Offshore Shorebased course develops the recreational sailor's ability to skipper a sailing or motor yacht on coastal and offshore passages during daylight and at night.

Minimum Course Duration

45 hours contact time

Support Materials required

Instructor

ISA Yachtmaster Offshore Instructor pack

Student

ISA Yachtmaster Offshore student pack

Certification

Students may receive certification when;

• They have attended at least 80% of the course.
• They have completed all of the assessment papers to a standard acceptable to the instructor.
• They must have achieved at least 80% in the assessment on the Collision Regulations. (Note that this is the only paper with a defined numerical percentage pass mark.)
• They have demonstrated an understanding of the principals taught during the course.

Shorebased course certificates are course attendence certificates and can only be awarded following successful course completion. Shorebased course completion certificates cannot therefore be issued solely on the basis of assessments completed without course attendence.

General

The Yachtmaster Offshore Shorebased course Certificates are not pre requisites for the Yachtmaster Coastal or Yachtmaster Offshore certificate examinations; candidates for either of these exams are, however, strongly recommended to undertake the relevent shorebased course or courses.
