Course Description
Most of the people that come to this course have completed all of the required boating days and had their log book signed off over a period of time on a friend or family members boat.
If the practical component has been signed off and all you need is the theory information and to sit the knowledge test then this is the course you need to complete.
We usually join this theory group with the people completing both the practical and theory. The practical component is usually completed in the morning with the theory taking place after lunch. This is where the theory only students will join in.
