TY First Aid Courses – Nov 2025 / Feb 2026

Our TY courses, delivered by Irish Offshore Sailing, are the RYA Marine First Aid Courses. They are valid for all Irish Sailing Dinghy instructors, and are valid for 3 years.

The course includes topics such as hypothermia, drowning, cold water immersion, vhf radio for medical emergencies and helicopter rescue, which defines it as a marine first aid course. 

The course starts at 0930 and finishes at 1600 with a break for lunch.
Students need to come in comfortable clothing with a pen and paper for notes. 

Certs are given at the end of the course, students should lay the cert down at the end of the course, and take a photo of it and email it to themselves. The packs with first aid books include the certs therefore replacement certs cost approx €35. Hence students need to keep them safely. 

The 4 courses will take place in the National Yacht Club in the JB room downstairs.

The 2025-2026 dates for first aid are as follows: 
Thurs   13th Nov
