Adult courses

Salford Quays provides the ideal learning environment for progressing in watersports. If you have a particular watersport that you like and want to progress along the governing body training scheme than we have a course for you. Or if you are a complete beginner and just want to 'dip your toes in' then our introductory courses are ideal for you to get a taster of the different watersports available.

We offer a range of courses from the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) training schemes. These include our most popular courses which are RYA Sailing Level 1 and 2 from the National Sailing Scheme. Every year we fill these courses and we put on extra courses later in the year which we fill as well - they are so popular! Other RYA courses which we regularly run include RYA Powerboat Level 2, RYA Safety Boat course and RYA Start Windsurfing.

As well as RYA courses, we offer a wide range of Paddlesport courses from the British Canoe Union (BCU). The ever popular BCU 1 and 2 star courses are run using both kayaks and canoes so you get to develop skills in both craft. Whilst the 3 star courses are discipline specific. We also offer the BCU 3 Star (White Water) award in the form of a 2 day training course, followed up by a 1 day assessment course. 

If you can not see any dates that suit you, or we have not published dates for the course that you are interested in, then please contact us as we will probably have other names on a waiting list.
