The RYA certifications are usually considered the gold standard. I wish I had them.
Having said that, as an instructor you will be teaching the standards of the the certifying agency. I certify for two different ones and the standards are a little different.
Check with ASA and US Sailing for their prerequisites before starting down any path.
