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 St George Motor Boat Club.
2 Wellington Street, Sans Souci NSW 2219
