Kit List

As a professional Watersports instructor you will need to provide some personal equipment. You will use this equipment continuously during your course, work experience and hopefully the rest of your career, so choose well. We have a shop on site that sells the majority of sailing equipment. We are also able to obtain most equipment at a discount so it may be worth waiting until your course starts and discussing your needs with your course co-ordinator.
