The Recreational Skippers Ticket (RST) is a nationally recognised certificate of competency which shows that the holder has the minimum knowledge and practical skills needed to operate a powerboat safely.

The RST course consists of a Theory and Practical component. 

Course attendees must be 14 or older to complete the course.

Please be aware, this course has a minimum number of registrations. In the event that the minimum is not met, the course will be rescheduled.

Course Costs:

$330 (non-members) | $270 (EFYC members)

Theory Sessions:

The theory component of the course will take place over two weekday evenings (usually Monday & Tuesday), from 6pm – 9pm, at EFYC. This includes 5 hours of tuition, where we will review the entire RST workbook with you, as well as 1 hour to sit the multiple choice theory assessment.

To pass the theory portion of the RST you will need to obtain a mark of 80% or higher. You will not be able to complete the practical assessment until you successfully pass the theory assessment. With over 16 years of experience in teaching the RST course, we will provide you with a comprehensive review of the syllabus so there is no need for pre-learning.
