Training at YCAA
The YCAA has a very long experience in training and has already trained more than 1600 people for boat licenses.

The new provisions relating to boat licenses have been taken into account. The YCAA training establishment, called “YCAA Boat School” obtained approval from Maritime Affairs on January 14, 2008.

• The means

A training room, equipped with a video projector, a professional audio-visual teaching program with control tests in examination conditions (remote control boxes).

• An 8.50 m boat for practical teaching which takes place on the Adour.
• Using GPS, Mapping, VHF and Fishfinder for Fishing.

• The coastal permit

Preparation for the theoretical test : The theoretical training lasts 6 to 8 weeks at a rate of 4 to 5 hours per week. Classes take place in the evening from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. from Monday to Friday. The multiple choice exam is organized by Maritime Affairs.

Price: €300 for the coastal permit (training club membership included).

Practical training : The training requires at least 2 hours spent at the helm of the boat and one hour of group lessons. It is validated by the training establishment when the required objectives are achieved. It consists of mastering the driving of the boat, but also learning behaviors, particularly in terms of safety (equipment, meteorological concepts) or the most common breakdowns on a motorboat.

This training is provided collectively in the classroom for one hour, then individually on the boat during three ¾-hour sessions, depending on the candidates' availability.

• The offshore permit

The exam consists of a theoretical test organized by Maritime Affairs. Candidates must first hold a Coastal License.

The training includes 10 sessions of 2.5 hours each and is spread over two months, one evening per week on Tuesday or Thursday from 7.30 p.m. to 10 p.m.

The training content includes the theoretical navigation test (map exercise), tide calculations and various questions (on meteorology and safety).

The duration is 4 sessions of 2.5 hours grouped over two to three weeks:

• Tuesday and Thursday from 7:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
