RYA Professional Practices and Responsibilities

Price: $125 (Payment will be taken online as you start the course)

The PPR course is required for candidates that are wishing to commercially endorse their RYA/MCA Certificates of Competency in order to use their RYA qualifications professionally as skipper or crew. 

The course is broken down into four modules:
  1. Commercial environment - showing how you fit into the professional maritime world.
  2. People – explaining the importance of correct manning, keeping your skills up to date and the safe management of commercial vessels.
  3. Vessel – teaching about the compulsory carriage and maintenance of safety equipment and how to create and implement risk control and operating procedures.
  4. Purpose – making sure your vessel is suitable and legal for the work you are carrying out, your obligations in protecting the environment, appropriate planning and situational awareness.  

    Following the modules there is a mock assessment so you can check you are ready before moving on to the final graded online assessment. It should take you approximately around 6 to 8 hours to work through the four course modules. The graded end of course assessment is split into two sections, totaling 2 ½ hours.
