The course is aimed at accrediting club volunteers to provide a free safety service for sailing racing. Accredited Auditors then ensure safety standards are consistently met through equipment compliance.

To act as an Auditor in Australia accreditation is a requirement. Both the Club and National Equipment Auditor Qualifications require the completion of this online course for accreditation.

The CEA course reviews: the Cat 3-7 auditing forms, all category specific updates to the Special Regulations, procedures to be utilised whist auditing and where to obtain specific auditing information from the 2021-2024 Racing Rules of Sailing and Special Regulations.

The Club Equipment Auditor course can be found on the AS website via the Course Finder.
