The RYA's National Powerboat Scheme is for those wanting to drive small open
powerboats such as RIBs (rigid inflatable boats), sports boats and small
launches. These boats are generally powered by an outboard engine, do not
normally have accommodation on board, and so are not intended for extended
cruises. They may be used for short coastal or inland trips, fishing, safety
cover for other watersports, waterskiing or as a support boat for
diving.
Whether you use powerboats for leisure or work, or in connection
with another activity such as sailing or rescue, we have a course for you.
RYA Powerboat level 2 Course
This two-day course provides the skills and background knowledge needed to drive
a powerboat and is the basis of the International Certificate of Competence. It
includes Close quarters handling, high speed manoeuvres, man overboard recovery
and collision regulations. The course can be taken inland or on the coast and
your certificate will be endorsed accordingly.

Going abroad
If you want to drive a powerboat outside the UK
you are likely to need certification, often in the form of the International
Certificate of Competence. You should also be aware of the local requirements
for drivers, boats and licences wherever you go and, if possible, take with you
translations of the certificates that you hold.
The level 2 course is the foundation course required to apply for an International
Certificate of Competence.
