Description
The Advanced Powerboat COC Exam prep follows on from the RYA Powerboat Advanced Course. for those who require the MCA / RYA Advanced Powerboat Certificate of Competence. This Advanced Power Exam, also known as the Advanced Powerboat Commercial Endorsement, is intended for advanced drivers who wish to work commercially on an open boat (such as a RIB with outboards).
To give you the best chance of passing, we offer an intensive three-day preparation course followed by the Advanced Powerboat Exam. This prep course will include two night exercises with our Instructor and on the final night with your examiner.
There are four components to the final exam
- Close-quarters boat handling
- Theoretical passage planning
- Supporting knowledge (theory)
- Skippering the night exercise (night pilotage)
During the Advanced Powerboat commercial exam, candidates must demonstrate that they are competent skippers. The examiner can test candidates on any part of the Powerboat scheme (except the safety-boat course) and on any part of the RYA Day Skipper Shorebased and/or RYA Yachtmaster Offshore Shorebased courses.
We will devote some of the Advanced Powerboat exam preparation course to each of the above four examined areas. However, we will spend most of the two days planning and carrying out the night exercises and running passages. The second morning will be devoted to your passage planning exercise.
