The club's RYA Adult Level 1 page says assumed knowledge is none, the course introduces dinghy sailing and is for getting afloat under supervision. The homepage says people do not need to own a boat or be a sailor to join, and the junior club usually accepts children aged 9-18 while considering applicants individually.
Training
Brixham Yacht Club says it is RYA affiliated and an RYA Recognised Training Centre.

Adult Level 1 and Level 2 dinghy sailing pages provide course content, ages, duration and prices.
