How to revalidate
Revalidate your qualification
RYA Instructor qualifications are valid for five years, at which point you need to revalidate in order to retain the qualification and continue teaching.
We will endeavour to contact you prior to your revalidation becoming due, so please sign into this website and check your profile to ensure we have your current contact details.
It is your responsibility to check your instructor certificate to see when it expires and take the necessary action prior to that date. During busy periods it can take up to 28 days to process your new certificate.
