Enrolment now open
We have been keeping busy during the summer with a variety of cruises along the South West Coast and across the Channel but after a well-earned break we are back and ready to go with the full range of RYA Courses we offer. If you or you know of anybody who would like to come along then they can register their interest via the School’s Web site here
RYA Online Courses
Through our partnership with RYA Interactive and Navathome, we are now able to offer an increased range of Online courses to supplement our classroom-based theory courses. These now include ICC Theory, Day Skipper, and Yachtmaster.
The courses are fully interactive with great animated graphics in order to keep things fun.
There are loads of quizzes throughout, giving immediate results in order to enforce the learning experience.

On-line v Classroom
Online courses are a great way to learn in that you can take the course in your own home at a time of your choosing with a dedicated St. Thomas More Sailing School Instructor on hand offering speedy responses, feedback, personal help & instruction via email and phone.
Classroom learning on the other hand offers multi-sensory appeal. You can listen to the instructor, receive visual cues through PowerPoint presentations and handouts and participate actively in hands-on activities and scenarios.
Interaction with the Instructor is immediate and you have opportunities to ask questions and participate in the discussion. This also allows you to benefit from the first-hand accounts of other students’ experiences and believe me there are many!
If you have previously signed up for an Online RYA Navigation Course and found it is not for you then please get in touch as we are able to offer substantial discounts against monies already paid towards the cost of our Classroom courses.
