I asked two of our best RYA instructors; Maurin Rottenwalter, Operations Manger at The OTC, and OTC Team Rider James Hardy why should you come and take the plunge and do your RYA qualifications with us at The OTC, he said: "The one thing that is pretty amazing here is the facilities, number 1 as a centre we have all the boards, from absolute beginner upto advanced plus level. we have got all the options, we have flat water all the time, even in really strong winds, it is not only the equipment is good, we have the facilities of the academy, shoers, classrooms and it is all a five minute walking distance of our centre. There are also a lot of really good quality instructors, while we are running the course itself they see other sessions happening and they see how everyone conducts themselves, we have flat water we can stand in shallow water so the teaching areas are really safe so they can experience different ways to teach in a small area and we can give them a wide variety of different scenarios teaching from shallow to deep so just starts giving them a view of what real life will look like."
James Hardy, said: "“The combination of a fantastic location, great range of top tier kit and experienced Instructor Trainers at the OTC will always make for a fun and enjoyable Instructor course to start or progress your career.”
