The US Sailing Level 1 Instructor course is divided into two sections that have been revised for 2023:
- A 3-day in-person section of the Level 1 course is approximately 30 hours and students will be evaluated on their teaching ability, sailing skills, powerboat handling skills and on-water class management, among other topics.
- A self-guided online introduction section of Level 1. The self-guided section allows participants to learn at their own pace and includes no scheduled interaction with an Instructor Trainer. This online course must be completed prior to attendance at the 3-day in-person section. US Sailing recommends that the in-person section is attended within three months of the online course completion for maximum retention and successful completion.

There is a seemingly endless need for hands-on powerboat instruction and a limited supply of certified instructors. If you know of anyone who may like to become a US Sailing/US Powerboating Safe Powerboat Handling Instructor, please have them check out this course.
The Powerboat Instructor training course at SUNY Maritime is an ideal opportunity for a club that wants to train its waterfront staff or a member volunteer to offer powerboat courses to the club’s families, junior sailing program participants, sailing instructors and neighbors in its community.
In this intensive 3-day course for advanced powerboat operators who will operate boats 26 feet and under, instructor candidates will learn the fundamentals of on-the-water instruction. Candidates must successfully demonstrate superior presentation, teaching, and powerboat operation skills in order to complete this course. Upon graduation, instructors will be eligible to teach Safe Powerboat Handling courses. This is a rigorous course.
One of the prerequisites for this Instructor course is prior completion of the student-level Safe Powerboat Handling course, either the Accelerated 1 day version or the regular 2-day version (which is available March 11-12 and April 1-2 at SUNY).
