Skipper's Ticket Course Overview
This is the most thorough recreational skippers ticket course in the South West, with the most experienced instructors.
The course takes 4 to 5 hours and includes: revision of the theory involved in the test, sitting the test, practical training in our boat and finally the practical assessment.
The assessment requires you to Pass (80%) a theory test and then display competence in a range of practical tasks.
We will prepare you for this assessment and will continue to work with you on theory or practical elements until you are ready to be assessed. If you don’t pass, we’ve not done our job properly.
You will train in our 5 m Quintrex training boat, which is an easy boat to drive.
We provide boat, fuel, lifejacket, instructor, test papers and certificate.
