To achieve the RYA YM Certificate of Competence, this package brings together all the courses that you require to meet the RYA's requirements for commercially endorsed Yachtmaster Offshore.

These courses can be booked as a block week over 5 days (See STCW 95 Block week)

- Yachtmaster Certificate of Competence examination
We would also recommend these:

We can also add bespoke training for you, to help you polish up your skills in a particular area. The types of training are similar to those described in our "Own Boat Tuition"
details
The package consists of a number of courses which you are able to book individually, so that you can plan your passage through the courses.
A good level of competency is required to pass the Yachtmaster (Offshore) exam. For more information, see our Yachtmaster course details below.
For a commercial certificate of competence, all commercial seafarers are required to hold a valid medical certificate. These are valid for a maximum of 2 years. The most rigorous part of the medical is that of eyesight, and the MCA strongly recommends that those intending to work in the merchant navy or in a maritime career takes their medical before embarking on a long period of training.
For more information about the medical requirements, and to find an MCA qualified medic, please see M notice MSN 1765 (M) on their website (www.mcga.gov.uk)
