Safe and Fun (Safeguarding)
Safe and Fun is the RYA's standard safeguarding course, for instructors across its schemes. It is also relevant for anyone else working in an RYA environment, including in affiliated clubs.
Course overview
There are a three steps through the course:
- The learner agrees to abide by the RYA Code of Conduct
- The learner completes the training module
- The learner completes the end of course knowledge check.
In addition, learners who will be attending a Dinghy/Windsurfing Instructor or Senior Instructor course must complete the ‘Pre-instructor course work’.
The course is designed to take around three hours, however you might take a longer or shorter time than this.
Passing the test
This course is not an assessment, it is designed to train you! However, you do need to score 50% in the end of course knowledge check to achieve your certificate. If after two attempts you do not pass, we will assist you with your answers.
We offer technical support with this test, should you need it. However, we do not usually offer tuition included in the package. Please speak to us if you would like to discuss the possibility of tuition.
Certification
A pass mark in the knowledge check unlocks the certificate for the learner to download. If they are going on to a Dinghy or Windsurfing Instructor or Senior Instructor course, they must take that certificate with them.
