PRACTICAL TRAINING & ASSESSMENT & THEORY EXAM
(7am – approximately 1.00pm)
Our morning is spent on the water training for all of the competencies as directed by Maritime Safety Queensland’s “BOAT & JETSKI COMPETENCY STANDARDS”. During the morning training session, your Trainer will demonstrate each exercise, and you will be given multiple practise attempts at each one.
You will practise:

The first part of the day is a quick recap on the online information then you will sit your THEORY ASSESSMENT (70 questions / multiple choice).
After the THEORY ASSESSMENT, you will then be given the opportunity to practise all your on water exercises and then be assessed in all of the on-water exercises practised earlier. You will need to complete each exercise to the “BOAT Competency Standards” to be marked as “Competent”.
It will be your decision as to whether you feel you are ready to undertake the assessments. In some cases, extra training (one or more sessions) may be required to in order to be competent for Assessment. Should you choose to move forward with Assessment and are deemed “not competent”, you will be required to book additional Training as well as an additional Assessment.
