Boat licence SA practical competency certificate.

Driving a boat is a practical skill.

There are SAFE WAYS and MANY UNSAFE WAYS.

Passing a multiple choice test, tick and flick, only predicts practical disaster. No Skills training there.

The unsafe SA Gov Boat Licence multiple choice test system has lasted too long.

Thank goodness Boating SA is now in the process of changing it.

ALL OUR COURSE DATES ARE LISTED ON OUR CALENDAR.

I can work the course any day for 2 or more people.
