Being an accredited Australian Sailing Instructor is a requirement for an Instructor to deliver Courses under the Australian Sailing Programs at accredited Discover Sailing Centres.

All Instructor qualifications are valid for five years and Instructors are required to pay an annual Instructor fee to Australian Sailing.

To Reaccredit the Qualification and Maintain Currency 
The Instructor shall meet the following requirements:
•    Hold a current First Aid Certificate
•    Pay the annual Instructor fee to Australian Sailing
•    Comply with the State/Territory legislation including, but not only, state boat licence and child protection laws (if applicable in that state).
•    Read and sign an Instructors Code of Behaviour
•    Have been an active Instructor over the five years (based on courses recorded in database reporting)
•    Be medically and physically able to perform the duties expected of an Australian Sailing Instructor
•    Be assessed by an Australian Sailing appointed Senior Instructor during one day of an instructor course in their specific qualification or at an Instructor Conference. 
If you are unable to be assessed by a Senior Instructor at a course or conference, video evidence of conducting a session signed off by an Accredited Centre Principal may be accepted for reaccreditation or a stand- alone opportunity may be arranged. Please contact a Club Services Officer if you believe this is your only course of action.  
•    It is also highly recommended that Instructors attend the Annual Regional Instructors Conferences.
•    The reaccreditation is free of charge until 1st July 2021.
