Congratulations to the 6 Students who completed their RYA first Aid Training at East Antrim Boat Club, Saturday 28 March 26.
Accidents happen when you least expect them. Thankfully serious incidents onboard are rare but getting to grips with basic first aid will ensure that everyone’s in good hands.
Administering first aid at sea or even just afloat is very different to doing so on land. Because of this, the RYA First Aid course has been specifically developed for water users.
The one-day classroom course is taught by instructors with considerable boating experience. It is aimed at anyone who goes afloat, whether on inland waters, rivers, estuaries or on cross channel passages.
A little bit of knowledge is useful for all crew members and ideally everyone should do the course. It can be very difficult for just one person to navigate, helm, call for help and resuscitate at the same time!
This course is MCA approved and satisfies the requirements for Coastal Skipper Yachtmaster and Advanced Powerboat certificates of competence and some commercial work afloat.
