You must hold a valid Recreational General Boat Licence to participate in this course. If you do not have one, you’ll need to complete our combined Boat & Jet Ski Licence Course. You can not hold a PWC licence without a valid general boat licence.
The PWC course typically takes about 2 hours to complete. We cover the theory and go over the differences in rules and give you a chance to learn everything you need to know. You then complete the knowledge test which is made up of straight forward multiple choice questions. Upon successfully passing you will qualify for your Jet Ski/PWC licence upgrade.
Upgrading your licence is a straightforward process.
Once you’ve successfully passed the test, you can submit your paperwork at a Service NSW office.
We will meet at the Marine Rescue Centre in Cronulla.

Below are general directions for getting to **Marine Rescue Cronulla** (located at the end of **Tonkin Street**, near Cronulla Wharf) by car and by public transport. Always check traffic conditions or public transport schedules in advance, especially during peak times.
—
## 1. By Car
1. **From Sydney CBD**
– Take the **M1** or **Princes Highway (A1)** heading south.
– Follow signs toward **Sutherland / Cronulla** (via **Taren Point Road** or **Captain Cook Bridge**).
– Continue on **Captain Cook Drive**, then turn left onto **Tonkin Street** once you reach Cronulla.
– Look for signage indicating **Marine Rescue Cronulla** or **Cronulla Fisheries Wharf** (near Cronulla RSL).
2. **Parking**
– Street parking may be available along Tonkin Street or nearby side streets.
– Because parking can be limited, especially on weekends or in good weather, consider arriving early or using public transport if possible.

## 2. By Public Transport
### A. Train + Walk/Bus
1. **Train to Cronulla Station**
– From the Sydney CBD (e.g., Central, Town Hall, or Wynyard), take the **T4 Eastern Suburbs & Illawarra Line** towards **Cronulla**.
– Trains usually run every 15 minutes or so, but check the Transport for NSW timetable for exact times.
2. **From Cronulla Station to Marine Rescue Cronulla**
– **Walking**: It’s about a 15–20 minute walk (about 1 km) from the station to Tonkin Street. Walk east along Cronulla Street or Gerrale Street, then continue to the waterfront toward Tonkin Street.
– **Bus**: Alternatively, you can catch a local bus from near the station to a stop closer to Tonkin Street (check a route planning app or Transport for NSW for specific bus numbers and schedules). You would still likely have a short walk at the end of the bus trip.
### B. Other Options
– **Taxi / Rideshare**: Taxis and rideshares (e.g., Uber, Ola, Didi) are available at or near Cronulla Station. This can be a quick option if you’d prefer not to walk.

### Tips
– **Plan Ahead**: Check real-time traffic or public transport updates using apps or the Transport for NSW website.
– **Peak Times**: Summer weekends can be very busy in Cronulla, so factor in extra time for both travel and parking.
– **Landmarks**: Marine Rescue Cronulla sits near Cronulla RSL and the Cronulla Fisheries Wharf, which can help you navigate.
– **Contact**: If you need precise directions or have questions, you can check the Marine Rescue Cronulla website or call them directly.
