If you need any help let me know. Day skipper is good fun. theory and practical. I'm commercial YM OS, I did think about doing cruising instructor course, but too busy. I assume you are doing sail, not power? Is your plan to do some flotillas once you get your ticket?
You'll need ICC too and Radio licence. But the ICC comes almost free with RYA membership, they will give it to anyone with Day skipper.

Yes I really fancy just getting a small yacht and doing sailing rather than motor. I have been looking at online courses for the theory and doing the practical later
 
I think the yacht master would be beyond me but day skipper would be more realistic, could you reccomend me an online course, it's a minefield of them.

If you are anywhere close to a yacht club, see if they offer a course, or know anyone who does.
I did mine at a local club, it was so much more personal than an online course; it got me great local knowledge and an 'in' into the club, if you did want to use their facilities and berthing.
Our course tutor was a veteran club member and an ex RNLI coxswain of the local Station.
He really knew his stuff, and this type of local knowledge is invaluable to a novice; it's just not the same online.

It doesn't matter who you go with if you are doing online. Pick the cheapest. For the practical I can recommend a few when you are ready. Also RG's advice is good, there are plenty of clubs that can get you access to boats for not much money. Where are you looking to sail?

Actually there is a RYA sailing club close by, I took a look last weekend at their place as you can berth your boat there, as silly as it sounds I didnt actually ask if the ran any courses. I will pop down at the weekend and ask. Thanks for the advice

I will seek the cheapest one out after the club near to me does any.
