Course Content
A full day of practical/theory assessment followed by a Training update based around the RYA Powerboat Level 2 course. (Minimum 5 hours-dependent on how many are attending)
The Powerboat Instructors course doesn't have time to brush up bad habits or to teach the practical or theoretical skills of driving/navigating a Powerboat. The Instructors course concentrates on applying the "Instructional" element to your already high standard of knowledge and driving skills.
So, to enable Instructor candidates to "hit the ground running" the Skills Assessment course is there to ensure that individual Instructor candidates driving and navigation skills are at an acceptable "Instructor" level prior to the Powerboat Instructors course.
We will run the one day course with a Training Update in the powerboat and classroom - to bring you up to speed with the current RYA Powerboat Level 2 course syllabus. Check out the content of the RYA Powerboat L2 Skills Assessment in Downloads below.
"The level of teaching and standard of equipment & facilities is better than any other centre I have been to"
Paul Bennett. RYA Powerboat Instructor Skills Assessment.
Navigation exercise afloat
The Powerboat Instructor Pre-Assessment course will include a navigation exercise from our base at Southampton Dry Stack Boatyard to Cowes (weather permitting) or Hamble and back, this enables you to practice and test your Passage Planning and Pilotage skills (as these have to be taught on the Powerboat Level 2 course) You will receive feedback and coaching to bring your skills up to the standard needed.
This is an opportunity to practice/improve those rusty skills and brush off some cobwebs whilst reviewing planing skills (high speed manoeuvres), slow speed manoeuvres and those essential navigation skills.
"Excellent equipment and facilities, and course delivered in a friendly, professional and very informative way"
