The RYA Powerboat Level 2 Course is a comprehensive two-day course designed to give you the skills and confidence to operate a powerboat safely in familiar waters during daylight hours. 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. Please contact us to arrange a date. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/jet-form-builder/c71236ee9a33e63ef38d2b1e8574fbdf/2024/08/365743307_669719528536099_6328859370226169994_n-1.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 9 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
