Jet Skiing Lavender Bay

You must hold a valid Recreational General Boat Licence to participate in this course. If you do not have one, you'll need to complete our combined Boat & Jet Ski Licence Course. You can not hold a PWC licence without a valid general boat licence.


The PWC course typically takes about 2 hours to complete. We cover the theory and go over the differences in rules and give you a chance to learn everything you need to know. You then complete the knowledge test which is made up of straight forward multiple choice questions. Upon successfully passing you will qualify for your Jet Ski/PWC licence upgrade.


Upgrading your licence is a straightforward process.


Once you've successfully passed the test, you can submit your paperwork at a Service NSW office.

This course is the starting point for anyone wanting to safely get out on the water.

A general boat driving licence is mandatory for anyone operating a recreational vessel at speeds of 10 knots or more (approximately 18.5 km/h) on New South Wales waterways. This licence confirms that you possess the necessary skills and knowledge to safely navigate and control a vessel at higher speeds, helping to protect everyone who shares the water.

If you're ready to apply for a general boat licence or upgrade to a personal watercraft (PWC) licence in NSW, you’ll need to pass a knowledge test tailored to the specific licence type. The test is an essential part of ensuring all operators are well-prepared to handle their vessels responsibly.

In New South Wales, individuals aged 12 and above are eligible to apply for a boat licence. However, younger licence holders are subject to certain conditions, such as adult supervision or speed restrictions, to help them develop safe boating practices as they gain experience on the water.

To prepare for your test, take advantage of online practice quizzes designed for both general boat and PWC licences. These quizzes use questions directly sourced from the official test database, offering a realistic preview of what to expect on exam day.

Before sitting for your test, ensure you’ve reviewed the boating and/or PWC handbooks thoroughly. These guides provide essential information on safety protocols, operational rules, and navigation techniques to help you become a responsible boater.
