Powerboat Instructor Courses at New Wave Training

New Wave Training (formerly Jetski Safaris) is one of the UK’s leading PWC and Powerboat Training Centres.

As RYA Powerboat Instructor Courses requires a minimum of 3 students we will always be honest with you and not just take a deposit (unlike some centres) until we can confirm we have 3 students keen to do the course. This avoids any last minute cancellations which can be costly if travelling from abroad to undertake the course.

Our trainer has over 18 years experience training instructors who go on to work either on Superyachts or at UK based centres.

Skills Assement

The half day powerboat skills assessment is a compulsory element to taking your RYA Powerboat Instructors Course. It will run through elements relevant to the instructors course. You can take the assessment up to 6 months prior to your dates of your RYA instructors course and the sooner you can take it the more time it would leave to potentially work on any elements you may require prior to starting your course.
