what is required
From You
Proof of Identity (POI)
All students attending a course with us MUST bring acceptable Proof of Identity (POI). This is a Transport for NSW requirement, and you cannot complete the course without it. For example, a valid NSW Photo Drivers Licence plus a Medicare card or passport is acceptable for an adult over 16 years. POI varies for Young Adults (12 to up to 16 years) and adults (>16 years). Young Adults applicants must have POI (i.e. a Birth Certificate or Passport), and must also have a parent/guardian present who must also have acceptable POI. A school student card is NOT an accepted POI.From Us
Your Trainer
Our lead Trainer and Principal is an approved Trainer with Transport for NSW, holds a Senior First Aid Certificate and has held a boat licence for over 20 years. He has extensive experience in water safety and education, having been an award-winning surf life saver, a teacher and a university lecturer for over 30 years. He has an up to date Working with Children and Vulnerable People approval and a current National Police Check.Practical Training and Completing your Logbook
Practical boating skills are compulsory prior to being issued your boat licence.
- When undertaking our course, students must complete the practical requirement via the RMS logbook. This is to be completed with a licenced person who has held an NSW boat licence for 3 years or more. Please note – we do not currently offer on-water training sessions.
- The practical boating logbook is an easy option so you can achieve practical boating experience.
- We do not fill out your logbook for you as this is usually done on your own with a licenced person who has held a NSW boat licence for 3 or more years. This can be a friend, family member, co-worker; whoever you go boating with. For your convenience, a free digital copy of the logbook is available in your pre-course study material or at any Service NSW centre.
COVID-19 Policy

We ask that you do not attend our training courses if you have flu-like symptoms such as a cough, runny nose, fever, sore throat, diarrhoea or vomiting. If you attend our courses with these symptoms, you will be asked to leave. We can, of course, reschedule for an upcoming course.
