Course review - anon.

My partner and I undertook the online marine licence course and thought it was very well done. Upon signing up, we immediately received access to an abundance of training materials which we were able to go through in our own time. We got our marine licenses in a matter of a couple of days and couldn’t recommend Michelle at Victorian Boat Training more!

The practical approach in the videos really helped me to understand and learn the content, rather than just attempting to memorise it. Thank you it was great!

Mischelle was easy to understand and explained everything clearly made the whole process of learning the rules and also completing course very easy, five stars for her presentation and learning the boat rules and regulations. She also helped everyone set up zoom video lin and I am not very good with computers but she guided me everything and it was a breeze to set up and understand. Big thumbs up from me and highly recommend them for anyone doing training or certicates or liscenses

Potentially one of the best, most comprehensive short online courses I've ever completed. Michelle was very thorough, helpful and made understanding the content a very pleasant experience.

I recently finished the online course, and it greatly contributed to my success in passing the test. The course’s comprehensive coverage of regulations and rules provided me with a solid understanding, while the fantastic presentation and PowerPoint materials made studying a breeze. Its simplicity made learning effortless, resulting in my successful test outcome. Highly recommend this course to anyone preparing for Marine Boat license and JetSki endorsement test.

I just completed the online course, and I successfully past the test. I must say it's been a fantastic help in preparing for the test. The depth of understanding it provides on regulations and rules is exceptional. The presentation and PowerPoint materials are top-notch, making the content very engaging. A part from that, the course's simplicity makes it incredibly easy to learn from.

There are many test sites available on the Internet, but I’m not sure that if you went with one of the cheaper courses, you would completely learn everything you need to know to be competent. I have had my JetSki license and boating license many years ago and so much has changed in the interim. The information given to us to learn from the test was specific and advised where the changes were implemented.

Internal course feedback form

I knew nothing about boating whatsoever but getting 28 out of 30 on the test just proves that with patience, great support from the training company and a great course that was so user friendly and l did it.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Michelle created some very informative videos that made it easy to understand everything needed to stay safe on the water. She didn't make the course just about getting the license, she made it about being safe so that it is possible to have a good time out there. Truly a great course that was well laid out.
