Covid-19 Outbreak –

We will be offering some courses from our training centre from mid-August 2020, in line with government guidelines. These courses may be moved online if UK guidelines change due to a second spike in virus numbers. We are also offering a selection of courses online, including oral prep.

5th January 2021 – as England has entered another full lockdown, we will not be running any courses in the classroom until the end of February. If you are booked onto any of our classroom courses, we will contact you to give you the option of doing the course online on your booked dates, transferring to a later date, or a full refund.

We offer an extensive and comprehensive range of both RYA and MCA courses. Our School is set in the heart of Hoylake, on the beautiful Wirral peninsula in Northwest England.
