WHAT IS IT?
Our zero to hero powerboat skipper course is a fast track course into the industry. You will shadow and train with us in a live commercial environment for a season and gain all the qualifications you need to join this amazing industry. You will open doors all around the world.
At the end of the program you will take the RYA Advanced Powerboat exam. Upon successful completion of the exam you will be eligible to skipper power driven vessels up to 24 metres in length just like the one below. Just imagine living the life of a live aboard captain in the Mediterranean.
AVAILABILITY
The training for this life changing achievement lasts for two months. There are only two opportunities to join the program each year. One intake starts at the beginning of June. The second intake starts at the beginning of August.
As well as that we only take a maximum of 12 students per year on the Zero to Hero Powerboat Skipper courses. That’s a maximum of six places per intake. This helps to ensure that you get the focus from our professional team that you need.
We only want to turn out the best because you will carry our reputation forwards in the industry.
This course is only available to people who are at least 20 years of age. In order to enrol you will have to pass a telephone interview with the school principal to make sure you are suited to this intense and professional training environment.
