Instructor Revalidation Workshop (CPD)

Instructor CPD Revalidation Workshops provide Irish Sailing Instructors an opportunity to develop within their discipline and review their own personal and instructor skills. The aim of the CPD Revalidation Workshop is to:

• Maintain high standards of instruction.
• Inform and brief instructors of development within the sport.
• Review instructors own personal skills and share knowledge and ideas of session delivery.

This is done by:

• Shorebased briefing and administration.
• Review of shorebased knowledge and waterbased skills.
• Instuctors delivering sessions with peer / Trainer review.


Irish Sailing can periodically schedule Revalidation Workshops when enough demand is reached via the Expression of Interest facility.
Host Training Centres can also contact Irish Sailing to seek additional candidates via the Expression of Interest facility.
