It covers essential boat handling, safety, and basic navigation, and leads to the RYA Powerboat Level 2 certificate. On successful completion, you’ll also be eligible to apply for the International Certificate of Competence (ICC) , which is required for boating abroad and is commonly needed for many UK-based marine and watersports roles. Key Details Duration : 2 days Location : Goyt Valley Time : 09:00 – 17:00 each day Course type : Practical training with supporting shore-based sessions Certification : RYA Powerboat Level 2 (ICC eligible) Course Breakdown Launching and Recovery You’ll learn how to safely launch and recover a powerboat using inland slipways. This includes preparing the boat, assessing conditions, safe driving on and off the trailer, and winching techniques where relevant. Boat Preparation and Safety The course covers essential pre-departure checks, ensuring the boat and safety equipment are ready for use. This includes buoyancy aids, kill cords, fuel management, basic safety equipment, and engine checks, all explained in the context of real-world use. Boat Handling A major focus of the course is confident boat handling. You’ll practise low-speed control, close-quarters manoeuvring, planing speed handling, turning techniques, stopping distances, and emergency procedures such as man overboard recovery. You’ll also learn how wind affects boat control and how to compensate for it effectively. Inland Navigation and Awareness While the course does not focus on tidal navigation, you’ll be introduced to basic chartwork, buoyage, and navigation principles relevant to inland and sheltered waters. Emphasis is placed on situational awareness, collision avoidance, and operating responsibly around other water users. Shore-based Learning Short classroom sessions support the practical training and cover safety theory, navigation basics, buoyage, rules of the road, and an introduction to VHF radio procedures (where applicable).

It covers essential boat handling, safety, and navigation skills, and provides you with a recognised certification that can be used to obtain the International Certificate of Competence (ICC). ### Do I need to have completed RYA Powerboat Level 1 to do Level 2? No, you do not need to complete the RYA Powerboat Level 1 Course before enrolling in the Level 2 course. RYA Powerboat Level 2 is open to beginners and covers all the necessary foundational skills, so prior experience is not required. ### What should I bring with me? You should bring clothing suitable for a day on the water, including waterproofs, warm layers, and non-slip footwear. Also, bring your own lunch or plan to purchase it locally. All necessary safety equipment, including lifejackets and buoyancy aids, will be provided. ### What type of boat will I be training on? You will be training on our RIBs (Rigid Inflatable Boats), which are ideal for learning due to their stability, safety, and ease of handling. These boats are maintained specifically for training purposes and are equipped with all the necessary safety gear. ### What happens if the weather is bad? Safety is our primary concern. If weather conditions are unsuitable for safe training, we will reschedule your course for another date. We will notify you as early as possible if there are any changes due to weather. ### Will I receive a certification upon completion? Yes, upon successfully completing the course, you will receive the RYA Powerboat Level 2 certificate. This certification allows you to apply for the International Certificate of Competence (ICC), which is often required for boating abroad and for certain boating jobs in the UK. ### How many people will be on the course? We maintain a low instructor-to-student ratio, with a limit of 3 people per course. This ensures that you receive personalised instruction and plenty of hands-on practice during the course. ### Will this course qualify me to drive a powerboat abroad? Yes, after completing the RYA Powerboat Level 2 Course, you can apply for the International Certificate of Competence (ICC), which is often required for driving or hiring a powerboat abroad. The ICC is also recognised as an entry requirement for many boating jobs in the UK. ### Is there an option to go direct to assessment if I already have experience? Yes, we offer a one-day direct assessment for those with prior powerboating experience who want to obtain their RYA Powerboat Level 2 certificate. This includes a morning coaching session followed by an afternoon assessment. If you're unsure whether this option is right for you, please contact us for guidance. ### Do you offer private 1:1 courses? Yes, the price for this is £570.
