Course Overview
The Powerboat Handling (PBH) Certificate is achieved by completing two course components:
-
Powerboat Program Essential Skills e-learning – The online theory course must be completed before attending this Powerboat Handling face-to-face course.
-
Powerboat Handling face-to-face course – A one-day practical course focusing on boat handling, particularly in confined areas such as marinas and in challenging conditions like swell and waves. Participants will also gain a deeper understanding of engines, different types of craft, and navigation techniques during a passage.
Together, these components provide the knowledge and practical skills required to handle a powerboat safely and confidently.
In some instances, you can take your Powerboat Handling completion certificate to your State Maritime Regulator and gain the State Boat License.
Who should complete this course?
This course is designed for participants to develop their practical powerboat driving skills. Attaining this course is a component to the PBH certificate and that is also a requirement for becoming a Powerboat, Dinghy and/or Windsurfing Instructor.
Course Outcome
You will gain your Powerboat Handling completion certificate.
