I think it needs to be the RYA one or higher

( or some Fire service, Armed Forces qualifications for example)

The problem with with the HSE ones is that do not cover administering classC drugs.


I looked on the RYA website to find the page for you but didn´t have the time, the simple solution is to call them.

I have the St John Ambulance Cert given at the end of the 3 day First Aid at Work Course and have an e-mail from the RYA stating that this would satify the Yachtmaster requirement.

According to my old notes, the following are OK:

Professional medical or dental qualification
First Aid at Sea (DOT approved course)
Ships Captains Medical Certificate
First Aid at Work (St John, Red Cross or St Andrew)
RYA Small Craft First Aid
Public First Aid (SJA, SAA)
Essentials of First Aid (SJA)
First Aid (Mountain Act) (SJA)
Basic Frist Aid (RC)
Standard First Aid (RC)
Emergency Aid Voucher
Certain other qualifications held by Police, Fire and Armed Services

This is a few years old now, and you should check with the RYA. I did the RYA course, which you will need to re-do every five years (with a refresher after three years).

I have just completed the RYA course to accompany my Yachtmaster.

It was very strongly stated that The Administration of any form of Drugs Formed No Part Of The Course.

You may gettin confused with the Ships Captains Medical cert. which is a whole diferent ball game.

While basic first aid should not require any asministration of drugs, when I did my RYA first aid, there was an optional module, which we were offered as part of the course if anyone was going on coded vessels. This covered us of MCA 'Class C' medical kits, which do indeed contain drugs, though not many.

Thanks for the replies.
I have the 3 day cert so I should be ok.
I will confirm with the RYA however and let you know if it is different.
