| Why certifications? |
American Sailing Association
Certificationis the ONLY Certification organization approved by the US Coast Guard Auxilliary
The ASA is an organization that
includes sailing schools, charter
companies, sailing instructors and sailors. The ASA sets competency standards
for both sailing knowledge and on-the-water skills for sailors and
instructors.
Certification simply means a person has demonstrated a standard of
proficiency by passing both written and on-the-water skills tests. It
provides a means for charter companies to assess a sailor's ability. There are
tests for various levels of sailing from Basic Keelboat to Offshore Passage
Making.
The Basic Coastal Cruising and Bareboat Chartering standards meet the requirements of most chartering situations. The
Basic Keelboat certification is also a recognized State Safe Boating course.
While certification provides a basis for chartering companies to evaluate
a customer's competency, additional requirements may be necessary due to
local conditions. Continued sailing experience is always an important factor.
Competency
tests for experienced sailors who want to charter but do not want certification
are given by individual companies. Sailors can also challenge the ASA standard
at ASA facilities.
The ASA certification standard is the most widely recognized by charter
companies and sailing schools. The staff at Aoki school is happy
to advise sailors as to the most suitable way for each sailor to obtain
certification.
