Yachtmaster Modular
Modular alternative to Fast track Yachtmaster programme

- Unable to find the funding, in advance for your training?
- Want to have time to consolidate on your learning experience every step of the way?
- Want a complete experience from different sailing locations?
Then look no further as we have the solution. Whilst everyone else is racing ahead with Fast track Yachtmaster training, how about joining BRIXHAM SEA SCHOOL along with HERCULES SAILING SCHOOL whom have teamed up to provide to an alternative to the traditional fast track programmes in the UK & Mediterranean.
MODULAR training is not new it has been adopted by many industries to ensure that participants have the time they need to learn, the time they need to reflect upon and understand what they have learnt, and the time they need to live and work whilst they train. Using the skills and expertise of not one, but two RYA recognised training centres. We will work with you to plan your training at a pace that suits you, from novice through to RYA Yachtmaster offshore qualification we are with you all the way. Our modules are run in units of three weeks and can be completed subject to available spaces throughout the year (except Christmas).
We also understand the added pressure for most people of paying lump sums of money in advance for their training along with the pressure of fixed start and finish dates. We offer flexible payment terms, all your training may be pay as you go or by monthly direct debit.
Start dates are flexible, because your personal programme starts and finishes at your pace not the schools. This also means that unlike many Yachtmaster programmes where you get to sail with the same people all of the time. With us you will sail with many different groups of people of varying ability’s to furthermore expand your skippering skills.
Not forgetting that you also have the choice of sailing venue for each module to complete each section of your programme from UK waters, including France, the Channel Islands and Scilly Isles to the stunning area of the Straits of Gibralter.
