Materials for ISSA Training Programme

Use these training materials to prepare for sailing and power yacht courses with Asian Yachting Academy. The resource list below includes brochures, textbooks, handbooks and topic guides for different stages of training.

Choose the training materials for your course

First, identify the course you are attending and look for the matching textbook or handbook. The list includes Boat Master, Inshore Skipper, Yacht Crew and Dinghy resources. If you are unsure which document to use, ask the academy before beginning your preparation.

Then browse the topic guides. Resources such as SRC exercises, navigation lights information and the Beaufort scale poster can help you prepare questions for your instructor. Read the document title and language before opening a download.

Make the most of your preparation

Start with the topics that relate to your next training session. Keep a short list of terms, diagrams or procedures you would like explained. During your course, use that list to discuss the areas where you need more practice.

Training materials support your preparation, but practical skills still need instruction and practice on the water. Also check with the academy if a document does not match the course information you have received.

For background on the training pathway, visit the ISSA course overview. You can also review our course programme to explore available training options.

Finally, contact Asian Yachting Academy if a link does not open or you need help finding the appropriate training materials. Include the course name and document title so the team can help with your enquiry.
