If you have no previous experience you will need to start with the Competent Crew course followed by the Day Skipper theory and practical courses. These courses will give you the skills you need to skipper a cruising yacht on short passages by day. You will also need to do a one day SRC course so you are able to use your VHF radio onboard.
