TRAINING IN FOCUS ‘LIVE’ – Sunday 24th September at Cruising Yacht Club of South Australia
Development for South Australian Instructors in Keelboat, Dinghy, Powerboat, Windsurfer, SUP, Wing and some fun in the sun.
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.
