Do I need to do an invigilated RYA theory exam?

Do I need to do an invigilated RYA theory exam?

The RYA online courses do not have an invigilated exam, it is included with the Shorebased course we organise in our centre.

The invigilated exam is not compulsory, but there are a few exceptions that we are going to explain:

INVIGILATION FOR DAY SKIPPER THEORY

The RYA Day Skipper Shorebased course has 2 assessment papers.

The invigilated exam is optional, is not required.
INVIGILATION FOR YACHTMASTER OFFSHORE

The RYA Yachtmaster Offshore Shorebased Course has 4 assessment papers.

The invigilated exam is optional, is not required.

However, to enter to MCA large yacht qualifications (Officer of the Watch or Master 200), the 4 assessment papers must be invigilates.
INVIGILATION FOR OCEAN YACHTMASTER

The RYA Ocean Yachtmaster Shorebased Course has 1 assessment paper.

The invigilation is not required:

– When you take the course for your own interest.

The invigilation by a RYA Instructor is required:

– When you will use this exam as a pre requisite for your RYA/MCA Yachtmaster Certificate of Competence.

– To become a MCA Master 200 (unlimited) Certificate of Competence.

– To become a STCW Chief Mate (and possibly Master 500/3000)
