First Aid

There are many providers available and as long as they are accredited to provide first aid training at "Level 2" or "Senior First Aid" or, using the government jargon, "HLTAID003 Provide first aid" then they will satisfy the YA requriements.  Ask if the training includes "Automatic External Defibrillators" as a part of the course, as these are becoming common place in most yacht clubs and on ocean racing yachts.  

Check your Keelboat Club

Our own local keelboat clubs often provide useful (and free) seminars on various topics as well as bringing in instructors for Marine Radio, Diesel etc so keep an eye on your own club newsletters and email updates.
