RYA Online Theory Courses

Ocean Sports is Pleased to Offer a Range of Online Theory Courses

The RYA Online Theory Courses range from 1 to 5 days in length. Below is the course information for our online courses. Please note, some of these are also available via face-to-face training. Our online theory courses have proven very popular, with excellent feedback from students who have undertaken the RYA VHF short range radio course, as well as the RYA Yachtmaster theory course.

Working with Navathome

To enable access to your online course (RYA Day Skipper, RYA Coastal Skipper and RYA Yachtmaster) we must share some of your personal data with Navathome via their website. The training website and database are held and maintained on a secure server. Navathome is an RYA training centre, specialising in online navigation training. They will not use your personal information for any other purpose.

Your payment information will be collected by Ocean Sports Tuition on behalf of Navathome, however it will not be retained once payment is made. In order to create your user account, you will need to enter your name and email address on the Navathome website. We will also provide your postal address in order to send your student pack. You will have access to the site for 6 months to complete the course. During this period, Navathome will hold your personal information on the website. Ocean Sports Tuition will also have access to this information via the Navathome database. Navathome may extend this period should you require further course access.

On completion of the course, Navathome will retain your name and email for the purpose of recording details of the course. Navathome will also keep a record of any certification you gain from it. Your instructor will not hold any information for Navathome student support after this date. Finally, please note that Ocean Sports Tuition may hold information for the provision of other training not associated with the Navathome course.

I attended Ocean Sports after a recommendation to do my Advanced Powerboat with them. Ian the instructor was on point with the course and really experianced. Facilities and boats are good and modern. Night Nav and unlight location are a very good learning curve especially in the solent.

Just completed my Powerboat level 2 course with Ocean Sports, Oliver was our instructor and honestly he was amazing, such a nice, patient and professional guy. I knew the course would be a lot of fun anyway but Oliver made it even better. Thanks a lot guys, I'll be back!

World Class professionals, standards & customer experience Exceptional instruction, safety standards and customer experience delivered by highly skilled professionals. Andy Murray, the manager, went above and beyond, with service excellence, offering me exceptional, unique, personalised development and coaching, which I completed with Andy and Josh to further develop my knowledge, skills and confidence. I completed both my PB2 (Instructors: Ollie and Ramos) and PB Intermediate (Instructors: Andy and Trish) with Ocean Sports Tuition. We also completed a fantastic Axopar experience with Andrew, At first I was apprehensive and all the Instructors were extremely welcoming, patient and understanding (and offered refreshments). All the Instructors were first class and Ocean Sports is a stand out organisation in terms of exemplary professionals and standards in all areas.

RYA PB2 Course Review I recently took the PB2 course, couldn't recommend it enough. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The course was well organised with good facilities and great boats. Sharon was a great instructor and enabled me to get lots out of the two day course, keeping us safe and building my confidence and skills. Well done all.

Great introduction to Power Boating and Certification Fantastic staff and a really enjoyable and informed experience. Highly recommend the 2-day Power Boat Level 2. Learned a great deal and will use my certificate ASAP to get back on the water safely!
