RYA INTERMEDIATE POWERBOAT COURSE
When do the courses run? How do I find out course dates?
Dorset Marine Training runs the RYA Intermediate Powerboat Course to suit you, our client. We can run courses seven days a week so if you want to book a course with a friend or family member just contact us with your preferred dates and we will do our best to accommodate you. We operate all year. Express your interest by reserving a date in our calendar below or drop us an email.
What if I want to book just one place?
There are two options: You are welcome to book the full course for yourself to ensure one to one tuition or to book with a friend and we’ll run it as a private course. Occasionally we run courses on which we take individual bookings. Please ask for details.
Do I need my own boat? What if I already have a boat?
The RYA Intermediate Powerboat Course can be taken on our boat or yours. If taking the course on your own boat then we can train at a location suitable for you. We can train up to three people at a time. If you don’t have a boat then bring a friend and come to a course on our RIB.
Who is this course suitable for?
This course will suit people who have some experience on powerboats but want to develop their skills, also we focus on planning a passage to take us a little bit further down the coast. The ‘Intermediate Powerboat’ course allows you to confidently explore further on your boat. If in doubt about suitability please call us to chat.
How many people will be on the course with me?
We usually run these courses for just two people who book together and there is normally just one course running at a time which means we can give you our full attention. If you have booked an individual place then there may be other students on the course with you. You can of course book a private course for one to one tuition.
Can I obtain an ICC or International ‘License’ via this course?
Yes this RYA Intermediate Powerboat Course does allow you to apply for an ICC. In the UK this is administered via the RYA and you should ensure you meet their eligibility requirements listed here – RYA ICC Info . We are happy to assist with the application at the end of your course if needed.
What if the weather is bad?
We are very lucky with the area in which we operate that we can usually find a protected part of the harbour to train. In the rare event of inclement weather, we will contact you to discuss. We can either postpone the training or issue a refund if the training has not yet started.
What if I need to cancel?
Our full cancellation terms are given in our terms and conditions attached to the enquiry email we send out and available here T & C’s. Please be assured that we understand that circumstances do occasionally change and we will do our best to work with you to rearrange training if necessary.
Who will be teaching me?
The Chief instructor will normally teach the course. You can therefore be assured that you will receive enthusiastic instruction from an Instructor who is keen to ensure you achieve the most from your training.
Where does the course take place?
We operate from the Port of Poole Marina. This allows us to get out in the harbour and to our training ground very quickly. It also means we have easy access to facilities for food stops!
