Practical Assessment- Personal Watercraft Licence

You MUST already have an RMDL Boat Licence to take this course. If you don’t already have a boat licence you should take our Combined Course.

Practical Assessment Details

This course covers theory and practical elements including the following units:

equipment and preparing a personal watercraft (PWC) for operation
legislative requirements
manoeuvring a personal watercraft.

This course may be completed as a separate course (for existing marine licence holders) or done in conjunction with the recreational boat licence BoatSafe course.

For a typical PWC course it will include:

online or face to face theory training
multiple choice theory assessment (45mins to complete) 100% pass mark
practical training driving the PWC (until you are competent in all tasks)
practical assessment – you must successfully complete all tasks to be deemed competent.

As we do with the boat training, we encourage you to practice riding a PWC with another licenced skipper or with a BoatSafe Trainer – you may not be competent in riding a PWC in just a few hours.

Some of the activities you should practice for both the PWC and Boat are:

man overboard drill
safely approach a floating object
port and starboard turn on and off the plane
figure 8 manoeuvre on and off the plane
berthing and unberthing
general navigation and control of the ship/PWC
operate at 6 knots or less.

Practical Training and Assessment must be completed within 3 months of finishing your online theory course.

Please note: we cannot guarantee a pass on the day, and in some cases further training will be required before attempting and/or passing assessments.

Once competent we will issue you with a statement of competency, This must be presented to Transport and Main Roads Queensland (TMR) within 6 months, you then pay their fee to receive your licence.

Please note: The statement of competency is not a licence, it must be taken to TMR within 6 months to gain your licence.

I have driven friends boats from tinnies to large Rivieras. But i have remained scared. Tomorrow i get to drive my own tinnie for the first time and i have been so nervous for 25 years since i wanted a boat. Of course a morning on the water doesn't beat years of actual experience, but we all have to start somewhere. Mike is seriously engaged in getting everyone on the water with the skills, confidence and knowledge to do it safely. The practical course was very enjoyable. Mike is extremely affable. It was what i learnt from Mike in that morning that has given me the confidence to get out there on my own.read more
