SAFETYBOAT
POWERBOAT LEVEL 2
This two-day entry level course provides the skills and background knowledge needed to drive a powerboat and is the basis of the International Certificate of Competence. It focuses on low speed close quarters handling, man overboard recovery, an introduction to driving at planing speed, and collision regulations. The course can be taken inland or on the coast and your certificate will be endorsed accordingly.
In this course we look at how to assist different types of water users when they are having problems. The course is run over 2 days from 10.00 till 17.00 and is free for club members hoping to become safety boatdrivers.
With our excellent range of craft and fully qualified Powerboat Instructors DWSC is the perfect place to gain Power boating Qualifications so close to London.
