The 2026 Senior Instructor course dates are now live and open for booking, with further courses to be added shortly. Places are limited and demand is high, so early booking is advised!
The Senior Instructor Course is an ideal progression for experienced instructors looking to step into leadership, develop safety and mentoring skills and make a real impact to skills development within the training network. It is open to Small Boat Sailing Scheme (dinghy, catamaran, keelboat), Powerboat and Windsurfing instructors who meet the pre-requisites that can be found HERE.
Senior Instructor Training is cross-discipline meaning if instructors meet the pre-requisites of more than one discipline, they can have that recognised on the same Senior Instructor Course. If Senior Instructors later qualify in a new discipline, they may also apply to get this learning recognised through Irish Sailing.
