Irish Sailing Dinghy Instructor Programmes

The Irish National Sailing & Powerboat School is delighted to announce a series of Irish Sailing Dinghy Instructor programmes.

CPD Revalidation Workshop – One Day Course

The aim of the CPD Revalidation Workshop is to:

• Maintain high standards of instruction;
• Review instructors own personal skills and knowledge.

This is done by:

• Shorebased briefing and administration;
• Review of shorebased knowledge and waterbased skills;
• Instuctors delivering sessions with peer / Trainer review.

By attending a CPD Revalidation Workshop you revalidate all your Irish Sailing certificates within the discipline up to and including Senior Instructor Certificates.
