Hamble River Sailing Club is now able to run the mandatory Professional Seafarers 'PPR course online'

Published 15:18 on 18 Mar 2015

Hamble River Sailing Club now offer the Online PPR Course!

This course is now mandatory for any professional seafarer

DETAILS:

Each year approximately 4,500 people apply to the RYA for a commercial endorsement in order to use their RYA/MCA qualifications professionally as skipper or crew.

Whatever your job is on board, in the commercial world you are a professional seafarer. As such, you are no different from the captain of a cruise liner; you have a duty of care to crew, to passengers, and to other water users, and you will be held to account if things go wrong.

The RYA PPR (Professional Practices & Responsibilities) Course will introduce you to these responsibilities and from April 2012 is required in order to commercially endorse your RYA/MCA Certificate of Competence.

The course price will be £36 to members (£45 to non members)
