Not sure if it helps, but I did mine with Dave Mallett (Wavelength) on here....Dave is based in Blackpool IIRC. http://www.wavelengthtraining.co.uk/

Dave is a good guy to do it with IMO as he is pretty strict (as it shoud be) but fair.

Otherwise, sure there are others who can offer similar who will be along shortly....

As an obvious expert in regulations, could you advise on following:-

Can someone with a Day Skipper ticket, just get it commercially endorsed from the RYA (£30) & then drive a RIB commercially, or do they need a specific RIB ticket eg APB?
