Hello and welcome to North Oxford Marine Training.

At North Oxford Marine Training, we’re passionate about making high-quality RYA training more accessible to those living inland. Founded in 2023, our centre was born out of a simple but powerful observation: too many water sports enthusiasts, instructors, and professionals based in central parts of the UK were travelling long distances to coastal locations for short, 1 or 2 day RYA courses. We knew there had to be a better way!

Located in the heart of England, our training centres offer a convenient and welcoming base for learners from Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire, Warwickshire, Buckinghamshire, and beyond. 

Whether you're just starting your journey or working towards instructor or commercial endorsements, we provide regular, supportive RYA training courses to fit around your lifestyle and location!

As of 2026, we’re proud to be launching our new Waterbase. This dedicated facility focused on delivering high-quality RYA Personal Watercraft Proficiency Courses. This exciting expansion marks a major step forward in our mission to support inland learners with practical, hands-on training opportunities that were previously out of reach locally!

We welcome everyone to our courses, even if you’re not currently getting afloat. We also offer bespoke training sessions and one-to-one support, either at our centre or at your club, venue, or organisation (subject to availability, please ask!

Whether you're looking to upskill, qualify, or simply explore your passion for water sports, we’re here to support your learning journey every step of the way.

We look forward to welcoming you to our classroom soon!
