ABOUT THE COURSE
The course is usually run in one day. At its completion, participants receive a completion certificate which you can present to Queensland Transport, whereupon a licence will be issued. You will also be given a set of high quality color notes which are an excellent reference guide, and are yours to keep.

The course is nationally accredited, and the national training package competency units you will attain are activity specialisations within the Outdoor Recreation Industry Certificate II in Outdoor Recreation. The competency units are:
MEM50008B Carry out trip preparation and planning
MEM50009B Safely operate a small mechanically powered vessel
MEM50010B Respond to boating emergencies and incidents
For anyone considering a job or a career in outdoor recreation, these units can be used towards obtaining a qualification. So not only are you obtaining your boat licence, but at the same time you're laying the groundwork towards a new career.
Our instructors are commercial mariners, who also hold national training qualifications. More importantly, boating is in their blood, and most of them go boating on their days off!
During the course you'll practice a whole range of tasks while driving our vessel, and become familiar with docking, mooring, and low and high speed manoeuvring. You'll also do practical exercises such as chart work and trip planning, and gain the required knowledge of Queensland's marine regulations to be a competent skipper.
