Frequently asked questions – Safe & Fun

Who is required to take this course?

Newly qualifying Level 2 Racing Coaches, Dinghy and Windsurfing Instructors and Senior Instructors must take this course if their instructor course takes place after 1 April 2015.

Can anyone who isn’t an instructor take this course?

Yes, anyone can take this course. It is useful for anyone involved in teaching or volunteering with children or vulnerable adults in an RYA environment such as a club or training centre.

Is it possible to take this course in a classroom instead of online?

No, this course is only available online. If you take it as part of your instructor training you will also complete a classroom workshop during the instructor course, but the course itself must be completed online.

How do I sign up for the course?

Click on link below, pay via PayPal  and we will send you login details – within 24 hrs.

What devices are compatible with the course?

You can take the course on a PC, Mac or iPad, so long as you are connected to the internet.

How long is the course?

This course is equivalent to classroom training of approximately three hours. However, the benefit of learning online is that you can work through it at your own speed. It may take you more or less time than that.

How long is the certificate valid for?

The certificate doesn’t have a specific expiry date. However, your training centre, club or organisation should have a policy for ongoing staff training and ensuring that everyone is up to date. That may involve you taking the course again at regular intervals, or completing other relevant safeguarding training. Please check your own organisation’s policy for details.

How much will the course cost?

RYA  has asked us to keep this as low as possible –  we have set the price as £10 as an introductory offer.  If we  keep this going as long as we can or until we feel the need to increase to cover our time.

I’ve already taken a different safeguarding course elsewhere. Can this be used instead of Safe and Fun for my instructor course?

The Safe and Fun course forms the basis of the safeguarding workshop that you will complete during your instructor course and puts safeguarding issues into context specifically for those instructing at RYA centres or clubs. It is therefore not possible to use other courses as alternative certification prior to your Instructor, Senior Instructor or Level 2 Racing Coach Course.
