The practical training and assessment day is held at our Runaway Bay Marina facility.
Our practical courses consist of approximately 4 students per group.
The practical training and assessment day at Gold Coast Marine Training is a fun day on the water and includes:
- A theory revision session with one of our trainers;
- A multiple choice written test;
- Assistance to those with learning difficulties where possible;
- A quiet air-conditioned professional classroom overlooking the water to sit the written test;
- A thorough pre-departure vessel induction on our boats and jetski's;
- A practical demonstration from one of our experienced trainers on the boat and jetski showing you what is required;
- A thorough training session where you can practice driving the boat and jet-ski before the assessment starts; and
- A practical assessment on our boats and jet-ski's as per the Boatsafe practical demonstration checklist.
The practical training and assessment day goes for approximately 5 - 7 hours and is a small group session.

Depending on previous experience, some licence candidates may require more time than others on the water training to become a competent skipper. If you haven’t driven a boat and/or jet-ski before and are not feeling very confident, it is possible to do some additional training with us or a friend before the practical training and assessment day. Get in contact with us at info@goldcoastmarinetraining.com.au to find out more information on this.
