Start and End times
Boat courses generally start between 7am-8am. We will send you a confirmation email and SMS closer to your course date to confirm start time on the day. Most venues will have the practical on water experience occurring at the beginning of the day. However, some venues require us to do the theory component first. You will receive a checklist after making payment for your booking to ensure you are prepared for your on-water experience. The checklist also includes ID requirements and under 16 parental consent forms that are required for your application. Be sure to bring your Passport photos if you are doing a PWC course.
After finishing the practical on water experience, you are required to make your own way to the venue where the theory course will be conducted. You will sit the course with our expert trainers. You can pack your own lunch or buy something to eat during your lunch break. At the end of the course, you will sit an online test (sometimes paper if system is down). If you pass the test, you will get your paperwork to present to Service NSW for a NSW boat licence.
Hooray! You’re all done with our one-day Boat licence course. If you have booked for a PWC course you will have extra training at the end of the day with another quick test. We expect most students to be finished by 5pm-6pm. Allow room to start earlier and finish later.
