Workplace Development

Working with local schools, colleges, and training providers to develop maritime education

We believe that sailing, water, and land-based sports can be powerful tools for education, skill-building, and personal growth. Our educational programmes are designed to open doors, both on and off the water, for young people and adults alike. Whether you’re looking to gain experience, start a career, or enhance your coaching skills, there’s an opportunity here for you.

Our commitment to education

The Foundation plays a vital role in expanding educational access through practical, hands-on learning. We work with individuals, schools, and partner organisations to deliver high-impact programmes that blend marine activity with personal and professional development. From formal qualifications to informal learning pathways, our goal is to make maritime education inclusive and inspiring.

Ways to get involved

Developed in collaboration with leading industry partners, our educational programmes are designed to create a ripple effect, equipping individuals with skills and knowledge that uplift entire communities.

Work experience

Ideal for students and early-career individuals looking to explore a career in outdoor education or sports management, our work experience placements offer valuable insights into centre operations, coaching support, and community engagement.

Volunteer Instructor Training

Our volunteer Instructor training grants allow committed individuals to gain instructor qualifications in return for volunteering hours at their club. You are required to complete a minimum of 1 year volunteering and must submit a survey to report total hours at the end of year.

Educational Diploma

We partner with education providers to deliver diplomas in areas such as Outdoor Education, Marine Skills, and Sport & Leisure. These accredited programmes combine classroom learning with practical, water-based experience.

Are you a school, college, or training provider looking to co-develop an educational programme?

We’re always open to new partnerships that use sailing and outdoor activity to enrich learning experiences. Whether you’re looking to enhance your PE curriculum, run an enrichment week, or offer an alternative provision route, we’d love to hear from you.
