Instructor Pathway

In line with the clear Sailing Pathways that have been developed, the Instructor Pathways have been simplified across all of our Programs.

• Eligibility to work at an accredited Discover Sailing Centre. These are the Centres most likely to provide you with the support, safety, systems and future pathways for your satisfaction.

• Recognition by Discover Sailing Centres and Customers as to having achieved a standard, and therefore being likely to deliver an experience and service that fulfils their customers’ expectations.

• Access to standard course syllabi and resources. The Yachting Australia Program and Course structure, as reflected in Customer Logbooks, and Instructor Manuals, has been well designed to support you in planning and delivering the courses, and all the things your customers need and want to know about.

• Instructor Liability Insurance and Centre Public Liability Insurance. Maintaining Instructor currency provides you with liability Insurance whilst delivering a Yachting Australia Program or Course at an accredited Centre. Your Centre will hold Public Liability Insurance as a condition of being accredited with Yachting Australia, but as a current qualified Yachting Australia Instructor you are also covered under a Yachting Australia Policy against public liability matters that might arise against you personally, again if you are delivering a Yachting Australia Course at an accredited Discover Sailing Centre.

• Access to ongoing learning and development through conferences and newsletters. Both Yachting Australia and State and Territory Associations have committed to ensuring such opportunities are provided.

• Promotion of Instructor qualification through the search facility on the website.
