Why Pay $400+ to Sit in a Hall All Saturday?
See why South Australian boaters choose to prepare online in an afternoon instead of paying bloated classroom fees.
The Typical Classroom Seminar

- Rushed Part A Preparation: Critical compulsory rules are crammed into a quick 20-minute review.

A quick word from the skipper.
Built right here in South Australia for everyday boaties who just want to get out on the water.
G'day. I've spent over thirty-five years on South Australian waters—from chasing King George whiting out off Yorke Peninsula to towing the kids on biscuits up past Mannum on the Murray.
A couple of years back, a mate of mine wanted to get his licence. He got roped into paying four hundred and twenty bucks just to sit in a drafty church hall for eight hours on a cracking Saturday, listening to a bloke read powerpoint slides off a projector screen. It felt like madness.
You don't need to lose an entire weekend or burn four hundred dollars to learn the rules of the water. That's why we put this together: straightforward, clear training that covers the exact questions Service SA will throw at you, tailored for our local waters. Two to three hours on your couch, and you're sorted.
