Founded over six years ago the NSW Boating College, trading as the National Boating College is a major advocate of competency-based recreational boat licensing and marine training in New South Wales.

Dedicated to instilling good boat-handling skills, boating knowledge and understanding of the on-water rules, we aspire to provide the best boating education and practical training.

We believe the more people know, the better prepared they will be, and the more enjoyable the boating experience will be.

Our courses are designed with a strong focus on teamwork, student participation, learning good boat-handling and seamanship skills.

The guarantee of quality training is in the registration, accreditation and auditing process that the National Boating College is required to comply with. All training material is to 'industry training package modules' and the College is a 'Registered Training Organisation' with VETAB-NSW. Instructors are qualified workplace trainers, assessors and experienced Skippers. The College is a 'NSW Maritime accredited Safe Boating Course provider.

Our work is focused in the following areas:

  • Boat and PWC (Jetski) Licence Training
    Range of course options available from full day (including practical) a combination of both licenses or theory only.
  • Private Boat Training
    On your boat, at your dock, on your waterway - private customised boat-handling training to suit your needs.

Courses throughout New South Wales
The National Boating College is based in Sydney with training venues in the Sydney metropolitan area, its surronding environs and regional NSW.

We would like to remind all recreational boaties that is the experience gained in a variety conditions that will develop skill, competence, confidence and awareness on the water.
