RYA Powerboat Training Courses

Powerboat: Level 2

(which can lead to the International Certificate of Competence - 'ICC')

"I would like to thank the team very much for a most enjoyable Level 2 Course.

Terry, Simon and Glen created a great atmosphere in the classroom and on the boats and did a great job of getting everyone to work as a team. Questions were encouraged and no-one was made to feel out of place for asking - Simon came to my assistance when I couldn't quite fathom how to get the lifejacket on and even managed to keep a straight face!

Glen took our group of three for the practical sessions and really made the course come alive. His enthusiasm for powerboats clearly rubbed off and I have now decided to get a RIB! Our group didn't have a lot of experience with handling boats before and Glen was great at seeing where we were going wrong and adjusting the pace to suit our needs.

I would definitely recommend Powerboat Training UK to anyone considering getting on the water, even with little or no experience. I look forward to taking my Intermediate Course at some point in the future after I've practiced what I've learnt a bit more." Martin

"Just wanted to write to thank you for a great course at the weekend. Paul was incredibly patient and responded to our million and one questions with enthusiasm every time. Before buying a boat I had never realised that there were so many things to think about and now a few days on I really struggle to see how we would have managed to boat safely without doing the course." Joe & Ann (and son Ben) after spending two days with Paul and their new 28ft Bayliner sportscruisier.

"Thanks for taking the extra time with us at weekend to help us ensure we could do the launch and recovery part of boating during our Level 2 course. It was really helpful to do it a couple of times during the weekend and if you are okay with it we will take you up on your offer of assistance the next time we come down to launch" Jon after spending a couple of days undertaking Level 2 with his 7m RIB where we dedicated specific time to practicing launch and recovery with his vehicle/trailer/boat to ensure it was handled safely and he was happy with the process.
