Expression of interest: becoming a keelboat instructor
With the growing interest in match racing on our 4 Eliotts and learning the skills necessary to sail successfully on our J80s, the club has recognised we need a few qualified keelboat instructors in order to introduce and develop sailors through the Irish Sailing small boat sailing scheme.
If interested in becoming a keelboat instructor, you must already hold a valid instructor certification and go through the process.
Doing this will also re-validate any existing SBSS instructor qualifications (including Senior Instructor) which might be useful for anyone coming near the end of their validity.:
- pre-entry assessment day
- 2 days conversion course
- we are also looking at an added day to obtain the advanced instructor certificate for suitable candidates.
If interested, please fill the form here
