 TRAINING IN FOCUS ‘LIVE’ – Sunday 24th September at Cruising Yacht Club of South Australia

The 2023 Training in Focus - Live events (Replacing Instructor Conference) will provide an excellent opportunity for Instructors, Discover Sailing Centre Principles and Training administrators to receive hands-on learning via workshops, practical on-water activities, the opportunity to try a new discipline such as windsurfing, SUPs or Foiling and of course, plenty of time to share ideas and best practice amongst peers.

Accredited Instructors who attend the Training in Focus – Live events this year will automatically have their qualifications extended for a further 12 months, assisting to further removing the barriers to reaccreditation.
