Exam Details

Post-course, we guide students towards the online RYA Yachtmaster Theory test. This at-home test has three papers, with feedback given post-exam. Examination fees are part of the course, unless for commercial MCA validation*. We pledge commitment until every student succeeds. With the online RYA Yachtmaster Theory qualification, students are equipped to helm a vessel, day or night, in complex coastal and offshore scenarios. To achieve the full RYA Coastal Skipper or Yachtmaster status, an additional practical session at a selected centre is obligatory.

Costs

The RYA Coastal Skipper/Yachtmaster Offshore Theory Course is priced at £345, all-inclusive. Those aiming for the MCA Large Yacht qualifications may need a supervised exam, which could lead to an added charge payable to the invigilator.

Note

Students pursuing the MCA Large Yacht roles (e.g., Officer of the Watch or Master 3000) might require their exam to be invigilated. This may involve third-party charges. If in doubt or for potential applicability, do reach out for additional details.
