Throughout the year we run Dinghy Instructor courses both on a residential and non-residential basis. This is by far the most popular instructional qualification we run. We offer a unique teaching experience with top quality coaching and a range of modern Dinghies to hone your skills.
5 days of top quality coaching to make sure you're up to the standards required to teach beginners and improvers.
For sailors with some experience already these courses include all the pre-requisites along with extra sailing tuition prior to the course itself.
All our instructor courses are available as half board residential options, with a camping cabin bed space and breakfast included.
An optional introduction to foiling the day after the course is now available at GAC. First flights for £150
