Re: Skipper's Ticket
Did it a couple of weeks ago - it was good fun!
Just make sure you get the right verison of the handbook, and not like me who study the wrong one!
Good luck - i am sure you won't need it!

Re: Skipper's Ticket
Didn't think of that, what version of the book should I have? I have 'A Guide to Obtaining the Recreational Skipper's Ticket Workbook Third Edition', hope it is the right one

Re: Skipper's Ticket
I've got a RYAC Powerboat skippers license (i.e. a UK skippers ticket). Does anyone know if it is transferrable to an Aussie one? (I was able to use it in the Netherlands when I lived there).

Re: Skipper's Ticket
Is there a lower age limit for getting your skipper's license? OH and I both want to get it but so does our 15yo son.

Re: Skipper's Ticket
You can do the course at 15½ then apply for a learners licence at 16 show the certificate for the boaties course to the Qld transport office & hey presto your son will be licenced to drive the boat. Very handy if you want to have a couple of beers while your fishing.

Re: Skipper's Ticket
Don't worry about it most courses will do a morning of revision before getting you to sit the theory part of the test.
The fun part for me was berthing the boat at the dock, I struggle parking a car!!
But if i passed I am sure you will!! Have fun!
