Training for boaters and jet ski riders
A training seminar to help boaters and jet ski riders acquire the skills and knowledge they need to stay safer on our waterways is scheduled for Saturday, August 2, at Marine Rescue Brisbane Water.
The certified Marine Rescue Boat Licence Theory Course will be held at the new operations centre at Point Clare.
The theory course will be conducted by trainers and assessors Ms Jane and Mr Raymond Lewis.
Only 10 applicants will be accepted for the five-hour course, which starts at 8.30am.
To gain a full boat licence, participants will also need to complete the Practical Handbook.
You are required to take a minimum of three trips with an experienced skipper, who has held a licence for a minimum of three consecutive years.
Marine Rescue Brisbane Water is a registered training organisation with members professionally trained to national standards for their roles, both on and off the water, but does not offer the practical component.
"Courses are designed to teach you the ins and outs of safe boat handling and help build your confidence in local navigation, boating safety and the marine environment," said Ms Lewis.
