About the course
If you’ve ever stood at the boat ramp wondering, “Do I actually have the right safety gear onboard?” — or worried that you might miss something important in your licence test — this course is designed for you. Many recreational boaters and jet ski riders feel overwhelmed by changing rules, confusing lifejacket requirements, and uncertainty about what’s legally required versus what is merely recommended. In this practical, easy-to-follow online course, you’ll gain absolute clarity on the essential and recommended safety equipment for Australian waterways — and more importantly, you’ll learn exactly how to use it in real-world situations. We break everything down into simple lessons, real examples, and licence-style questions so you can feel confident, prepared, and in control every time you head out. No jargon, no guesswork — just clear instruction built from real boating experience and aligned with current NSW regulations. If you want to boat with confidence, pass your test with ease, and keep your family safe on the water, enrol today at boatingcourses.com.au and start learning in minutes.
