WHAT IS THE AIM OF COMMERCIAL POWERBOAT LEVEL 2 PROGRAMME?

Powerboat Level 2 (Commercial) training and certification will enable you to drive a small powered craft commercially in the UK on Coastal (and some inland) waters. It will also qualify you to drive a UK flagged commercial craft overseas. The basic qualification is known as the MCA / RYA Powerboat Level 2 Certificate of Competence or RYA Powerboat Level 2 with Commercial Endorsement or PB2 Commercial. This 5-day programme consists of the 5 modules required to attain that qualification.

HOW LONG IS THE COMMERCIAL POWERBOAT LEVEL 2 PROGRAMME?

5 days – 0915 to 1700 hrs. These are usually five consecutive days but can be broken up if required. Plus there is a short online course

WHAT ARE THE PRE REQUISITES FOR THE COMMERCIAL POWERBOAT LEVEL 2 ?

*The ML5 Medical can be carried out by your GP: it takes about twenty minutes. Your GP will probably charge for this.
