Overview:
Personal watercrafts (PWC) are fast and exciting but need to be handled with care. The course is designed for the first time and experienced riders alike. Increasingly this certificate is required for launching and use of PWC’s globally.
The course covers launching, handling, and recovery skills; passage planning and decision making; high and low-speed riding skills; essential safety information; as well as collision avoidance and orientation at sea. Once completed, trainees will be self-sufficient in good conditions and aware of limitations of both self and the craft.
Prerequisites:
Trainees must be at least 12 years of age though this is dependent on local laws and regulations. There are no other prerequisites.
NOTE: Certificates for children aged between 12 and 16 will be endorsed to show that they must use PWCs only under the supervision of a responsible adult.
Duration:
This course is generally 1 day of predominantly practical training.
