Recreational Boat Licence (RMDL)
Our boat licence (RMDL) course is the perfect intro to get you out on the water.
The course is made up of two parts:
1. ONLINE THEORY COURSE
The theory course is self-paced and conducted online. You'll learn all about:
- general boating terms
- safe operation and maintenance of a boat
- planning a trip
- rules of the road (COLREGs)
- navigation aids and buoyage
- weather and tides
- emergency responses
- safe operation of a personal watercraft (PWC)
- PWC specific rules and regulations
The online component is self paced, but should take roughly 4-6 hours of learning time to complete.
2. PRACTICAL SESSION
Once you've completed the online theory course, you can book your practical session.
The practical session is delivered in person by one of our qualified trainers, and gives you the opportunity to learn and practice different manoeuvres and techniques under supervision.
The practical session will usually run for 3-4 hours (depending on the number of students) and includes your practical and theory assessment.
Once you've successfully completed your theory and practical assessments, you will be provided with a certificate to take to the Department of Transport and Main Roads to apply for your RMDL.
All courses through GoBoat Academy are approved BoatSafe programs with Maritime Safety Queensland.
