A PB2 course is designed to teach you the basic skills and background knowledge to become a competent powerboat driver [Members only]. No previous experience is needed. You’ll be taught in mainly planing craft.
The course content includes launching and recovery, boat handling at low and high speed and seamanship skills such as man overboard. Certificates at Level 1 or 2 are awarded at the end of the course at the discretion of the Chief Instructor.
The level 2 certificate is the minimum club requirement to enable members to drive club boats whilst on rescue duty. This certificate also forms the basis of the test for the International Certificate of Competence required by drivers of powerboats in many other countries.
The age requirement for this course currently is a minimum of 16 years of age. Our aim is that all our safety boat drivers attain PB” accreditaton
The PB2 full course cost for members is £80 for 2024 which is heavily discounted when compared to commercial centres to encourage our members to gain this important qualification. This includes all training material plus online registration of the certificate. You must attend both days
If you have driven a powerboat but have no PB2 qualification we offer a Direct Assessment half day in which you demonstrate your skills to an instructor and may be awarded the qualification.
