For the RYA/MCA Coastal Skipper or Yachtmaster Offshore examinations, Ambition Sailing ensures thorough preparation by providing intensive practical and theory training. We operate a four-stage process as shown

Discuss Individual Needs
Identification of individual training needs and the production of a personal preparation plan.
Shorebased Preparation (Optional)
Depending on individual needs, clients may review some, or the entire shorebased syllabus at one of our shorebased training locations.

One weekend is usually adequate.
Practical Preparation
Either conducted as part of one of our RYA practical courses or as own boat tuition. Involves rigorous preparation, covering navigation, pilotage, mooring, anchoring and close quarter manoeuvring. We will ensure that you have ample opportunity to practice all the necessary competencies such as blind navigation, pile mooring, and night pilotage.

Typically 4 days practical preparation is required.
RYA / MCA Examination
We recommend that exam preparation is followed immediately by the MCA exam, which we are happy to arrange on your behalf. This usually lasts up to 24 hrs
