Safety and Sea Survival Centres

Safety and Sea Survival courses can only be delivered at Australian Sailing Training Centres who employ a current Safety and Sea Survival Instructor.  As part of the application process, Australian Sailing will ask to view your presentation material, safety management system, and confirm that suitable teaching aids are available.  It is normal practice for the Chief Instructor to conduct an initial review and observe part of the first training course.  If you are considering becoming, or require additional information about becoming a Training Centre please contact Australian Sailing on (02) 9170 6912 or by email training@sailing.org.au.

Prior to application you should read the latest Operating Standards and Guidelines (below) and fill the Centre Self-Review form which is a useful starting point to assess whether the accreditation criteria have been fulfilled.

To apply please send an email to training@sailing.org.au.
