POWERBOATING
Our powerboat training falls into three disciplines; open powerboats (up to 10m), motor cruisers (over 10m) and personal watercraft (Jet Skis). We run the full range of RYA courses in each discipline. We also offer a range of BWS Ski Boat Driver and BSAC dive boat operator courses.
SAILING
Our RYA sailing courses fall into four disciplines- dinghy sailing, keelboating, multi hull sailing and sail cruising. Yacht sailing can be inshore, offshore or trans ocean. Bareboat and skippered charter are available. We also compete in a large number of International yacht racing events on both sides of the Atlantic.
SHOREBASED TRAINING
We offer a wide range of support courses in First Aid, safety, communications, boat care, navigation and meteorology. A lot of courses lead to world recognised RYA, STCW or HSE qualifications, others are Stormforce specific courses such as 12-volt electric or Weather for Yachtsmen.
INSTRUCTOR TRAINING
How do you fancy teaching boating to others. We train hundreds of sailing and powerboat instructors every year across all disciples. Join a short instructor course or a fast-track instructor programme.
YOUTH COURSES
All three centres are child friendly, why should the adults have all the fun? Our junior courses in sailing and Powerboating are aimed at 7-11 year olds. Our youth courses are aimed at 12-15 year olds. Our holidays are suitable for all ages.
FAST TRACK COURSES
A range of modular training courses to allow sailors and power boaters to fast track their way into our industry. These courses work because they consolidate all of the necessary training into a short time period and we run with a low ratio of students to instructor.
SUPER YACHT TRAINING
Thousands of “wannabe” crew are attracted by the sunshine, high salaries and global travel of the super yacht industry. If this appeals to you then there is no question that you need the right training on your CV before anyone will even consider you.
