If you require a RYA PWC certificate we will be able to direct you to one of our RYA training partners.
However, If you intend using a small tender off the back of a larger boat (also referred to as a PWC) then as an alternative to the PWC course some people like to take the 2 Day RYA Level 2 Powerboat course, which will allow you to use a small tender and a powerboat up to 10mts in length on the International Certificate of Competence (ICC). Please note that if attending a Day Skipper/ICC Power over 10mts this course will not cover you for a small tender carried by larger vessels!
