RYA PWC PROFICIENCY OVERVIEW
The RYA Personal Watercraft PWC Proficiency course (Jetski Training Course) is aimed at first time and experienced riders alike. Increasingly the certificate is required for launching in UK harbours; it may also be needed if you want to drive jet skis abroad or work on board a super-yacht. Many insurance companies insist upon it before they will insure you and some lower their premiums if you hold it. The course provides a good grounding in jet ski techniques.
