Therefore, all of our instructors have to teach to an extremely high standard. Not only do they hold the relevant RYA qualifications but have years of experience in their specialist field. Supervision ratios have been set by the RYA, with no more than 6 participants to each instructor. Here at St Andrews Lake we are also fortunate to have new instructors coming up through the ranks, meaning that the qualified instructor has regular extra assistance, bringing the supervision ratio down from 6:1 to 6:2.
