SA Sailing is pleased to be able to offer a new service to clubs and persons wanting to become SA Sailing-recognised training centers.

The South African Sports Plan and its Transformation Charter scorecard is clear that only accredited training can be counted towards statistically reporting on Governance reporting to government. Establishing recognised training programmes throughout the country is a key strategic objective as it continually works towards making sailing accessible to all South Africans.

This new product, the SA Sailing RTC Set Up, sees SA Sailing Instructor Developers working with the appointed person who will act in the Senior Instructor role to prepare the necessary and help set up the centre for accreditation.

The benefit to the club/centre making use of this service will be: -

• The Senior Instructor will receive mentoring and guidance/training through the centre set up and management process
• A complete set of paperwork i.e., Standard Operating Procedures for all tasks, Emergency Action Plan + All Notice board requirements.
• Assistance with developing lesson plans for all courses/programmes being run.
• Assistance with equipment needs, required notices and signage etc.
• The initial one-day on-site inspection is included
• Annual Recognition Training Centre fee is included
• Clubs will need to provide:
  • Their appointed Senior Instructor/person who will be running the centre (candidate Senior Instructor)
  • A gofer on the day/over the course period to run errands as may be needed to complete items that are found to be incomplete on arrival
  • Cover the costs of the SAS-ID (travel, accommodation, transfers/car hire, subsistence allowance etc)
