Level 3 Sailing Program Management Course - online ten days


Register at the Additional Info link above (four seats are available as of Nov 5)

For the ten-day course starting Nov 13 the instructor is Jen Guimaraes, who has previously served as the Youth Education Manager in US Sailing’s Youth Department.

The US Sailing Small Boat Level 3 Head Instructor Certification Course, is designed to support sailing instructors and program managers who are either making the transition to a leadership role in their programs or growing their management skills in their current role. This course is also available for parents and volunteers who want to better manage their sailing programs but do not want or need to receive a certification.

This course contains information on how to manage more effectively, problem solve, continue to create a quality learning environment for their students and sailing staff, and where to find additional resources. Topics covered in the course include: classroom and on-the-water teaching techniques, risk management, safety issues, curriculum planning, advanced team building techniques, ethical concerns, and much more. 

The online course is spread over ten days. The course consists of five 40-minute live webinars and includes short presentations. The other days are self-paced and consist of video content, group discussion and posts, assignments, quizzes and a final test. Students should expect to spend 20 hours on course work over the ten days.

National Sailing Programs Symposium - Florida


Contact
eventmanager@ussailing.org


The US Sailing National Sailing Programs Symposium (NSPS) is the premier event for sailing education in the United States. NSPS is the only conference of its kind that brings together program directors,  instructors, volunteers, parents and industry representatives to share and learn best practices with one another about running, maintaining and improving sailing programs. The goal is to have participants coming out of the symposium with ideas to apply to their sailing programs, make them better and help them grow.

Since the sailing programs symposiums began in 1984, thousands of attendees have taken advantage of this unique opportunity to examine and improve their curriculums, their business practices and their missions. In 2027, NSPS will have more events than ever where you can spend guided and focused time networking with your peers, learning from industry leaders and manufacturer representatives, and experiencing keynote presentations from some of the most accomplished and best known sailing luminaries in the world.
