SSS Instructor Accreditation
SSS Instructor Accreditation
Safety and Sea Survival course participants range from novice to highly experienced, and any SSS instructor must be able to respond to questions at all levels.
The Instructor course is an intensive 2-day course involving theory and practical training with ongoing assessment. During the final day of the course you will be expected to deliver a section of the syllabus which may include a pool session.
Accreditation Requirements
In order to apply to become a SSS Instructor, you must ensure you have already obtained the following requirements:
- Experienced Offshore Sailing Instructor
- Current HLTAID003.011 - Provide First Aid Certificate or higher
- Current SSS Certificate
- Marine Radio Operators Certificate of Proficiency (MROCP), or equivalent
- Extensive experience of ocean sailing and heavy weather
- Passion for safety at sea
Cost
The cost associated with attending a Safety & Sea Survival Instructor Course is $975.00.
Apply for Accreditation
As previously highlighted, the process of obtaining this accreditation isn't as straight forward as completing e-Learning courses then completing a practical course like other Instructor accreditations.
Upon receiving, Australian Sailing will assess your application and notify all applicants when the next SSS Instructor course is available. Australian Sailing reserves the right to decline applications from candidates that it considers unsuitable.
