Covid-19 Outbreak –
We will be offering some courses from our training centre from mid-April 2021, in line with government guidelines. These courses may be moved online if UK guidelines change due to another spike in virus numbers. We are also offering a selection of courses online, including oral prep.
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.
