RYA PPR - Professional Practices & Responsibilities

The PPR is a compulsory online interactive course for new and revalidating RYA Commercial Endorsement holders.


DO YOU REQUIRE THIS COURSE?

Each year approximately 4,500 people apply to the RYA for a Commercial Endorsement, in order to use their RYA qualifications professionally as skipper or crew e.g.
Charter/Corporate/Superyacht Skippers and Crew, RIB drivers, Workboat Skippers, RYA Instructors and many more.


You could be doing anything from delivering a new 35’ yacht or driving a workboat with lifting and towing gear, to running a superyacht in the Med. Whatever your job is on board, in the commercial world you are a professional seafarer. As such, you are no different from the captain of a cruise liner – you have a duty of care to crew, passengers, and other water users, and you will be held to account if things go wrong.

COURSE CONTENT

The course is broken down into four modules:

 

 

On completing the modules there is a mock assessment, so you can check you are ready before moving on to the final graded online assessment. On average we estimate users will take around 6 to 8 hours to work through the 4 course modules. The graded end of course assessment is split into two sections, 2 ½ hours is allocated to complete these.
