The Level 1 Start Powerboating course provides a practical introduction to boat handling and safety in powerboats.
No previous experience is required for this course, which we would usually recommend for under 16s who are learning to drive a powerboat for the first time, before they later progress to Level 2.
It covers boating techniques for launching and recovering a boat, everyday boat handling and the use of safety equipment.
The course is likely to be conducted in one of the club's RIBs, and the certificate issued will be endorsed to show the type of boat in which the training took place.
