- Training by the hour on your boat or ours
At OnCourse Boat Licences, we provide a range of training options to help you obtain the right certification for safe and legal boating in NSW. Whether you’re a recreational boater or you’re looking to start a maritime career, our courses cater to all experience levels. We offer three key training programs:
- NSW General Boat Licence Course: Ideal for those wanting to operate a powered vessel at more than 10 knots in NSW waters, this course covers essential safety, navigation, and legal requirements.
- PWC Licence Course: Also known as a jetski licence course, this training is for those who want to ride a personal watercraft (PWC) legally in NSW. It builds on the knowledge gained in the boat licence course.
- Coxswain Grade 3 Course: This certification is for those looking to operate small commercial vessels. Our Coxswain Grade 3 Course in Sydney is designed to meet industry requirements, offering a pathway to professional maritime work.
NSW General Boat Licence Course
Our Sydney boat licence course provides all the necessary training to help you learn the necessary skills to pass the NSW General Boat Licence test with confidence. Covering safety regulations, speed limits, navigation rules, and emergency procedures, this course ensures you have the skills to operate a powered vessel responsibly. The course includes both theory and practical training, with the option to complete your exam on the same day.
PWC Licence Course (Jetski Licence)
If you want to ride a jetski in NSW, you’ll need a PWC licence course – this is a standalone license only achievable after you already hold a NSW boat license. The PWC course is focused on the unique handling, safety, and operational rules for personal watercraft. Our jetski licence course in Sydney ensures you understand speed restrictions and safety responsibilities before hitting the water.
Coxswain Grade 3 Course
For those seeking a commercial maritime qualification, our Coxswain Grade 3 Course is the perfect entry point. This certification allows you to operate vessels up to 12 metres in length for commercial use, provided you meet the necessary experience and sea-time requirements. The Coxswain Grade 3 Course in Sydney includes practical training, compliance knowledge, and safety procedures to prepare you for a maritime career.
