What ?
The training program is divided into 3 parts :
- 108.5 hours at the training center (OF)
- 24 hours of distance learning
- 114 hours of on-the-job training
As a reminder, a complete training program for an inexperienced trainee or a trainee eligible for vocational training funding, including certification tests, must meet the following minimum requirements :
- 269 hours (7 to 8 weeks) divided into a minimum of 150 hours at a training center (4 weeks, including 21 hours of distance learning) and a minimum of 119 hours on the job (3 to 4 weeks).
Breakdown by skill block (for a complete course) :
- Competency block 1 : “Preparing and running introductory and advanced sailing courses” : 94 hours at a training center and 70 hours in a work-study program (i.e. 4 and a half weeks).
- Competency block 2 : “Organization, information and communication concerning your activities as a sports and physical instructor” : 21 hours at a training center and 14 hours on a sandwich course (1 week).
- Competency block 3 : “Maintenance, preparation and supervision of unsupervised sailing in a specific nautical area” + EPMSP test : 35 hours OF and 35 hours alternating between OF and EPMSP (i.e. 2 weeks).
The 3 blocks can be lightened according to the candidate's profile (experience as an assistant instructor, as a competitor, experience within a structure, coaching experience).
They will be the subject of a positioning with the trainee at the start of training, with the training organization validating an individualized course with the corresponding adapted training volumes.
Training reductions do not exempt trainees from taking the 3 certification tests and the EPMSP, which remain compulsory.
