What training programmes does Metropolitan Waterways offer?

The catalogue includes powerboat, skipper, safety boat, tender operator, sea survival, marine VHF radio and yacht-master training. Visit the Courses page for the current course list and each course card for its live price and course information.

Which course is right for me?

Start with the course description that matches your experience and intended use of a boat. The beginner course is designed for new boat skippers, while the advanced, coastal, powerboat and yacht-master options build on different levels of experience. Contact the team if you need help comparing options.

Which courses are NIWA approved?

Courses marked NIWA APPROVED on the website are the ones associated with the NIWA-approved catalogue category. The approval badge is shown on the course artwork and course cards; certification requirements remain subject to the applicable course and authority requirements.

Do the courses include practical training?

The training programme combines theory with practical instruction. Practical requirements and the expected duration vary by course, so check the course details or speak with the team before booking.

How long does a course take?

Duration varies by course and is shown on the course cards where it has been provided. Some courses include a practical component or a stated number of hours, so allow time for the complete programme rather than theory alone.
