For Sailors Wishing to Use Their RYA Qualifications for Work

In the PPR course, participants learn about the legal framework that commercial operators need to follow for various vessels. While the course doesn't delve into specific rules for every type of operation, it provides a solid understanding of the duty of care. The course also offers principles, guidance, and techniques to help skippers make informed choices and decisions. Its primary goal is to introduce seafarers to relevant legislation, such as SOLAS, COSWoP, MARPOL, Flag State, Port State Authorities, and the Code of Practice.

The online RYA PPR course is priced at £59.00 and is a necessary step for those seeking a commercial endorsement. This requirement applies to various certificates, including Yachtmaster Ocean, Yachtmaster Offshore, Yachtmaster Coastal, Day Skipper Practical, Powerboat Advanced Certificate of Competence, and Powerboat Level 2.
