level 2 course coastal

[Dominic]

Any recommendations as to where I should take my Level 2 Course? I'd like to do Coastal but living in Leeds,that means travel. Im happy to travel 2 or so hours from home and either coast is fine. New to all this so just wondering if some training centers are better than others.

Hi, Im also looking into doing the course.
Im in the same area (york), ive looked at humber rescue and hornsea rescue, Both do courses, Have you found any yet?

[Dominic]

I have contacted a couple of places.... one is Humber Rescue one from the PM sent above. Only via email due to being at work but I will let you know when I hear/speak to anyone.

Thanks Dominic, Another one i looked at was HOTA in hull.

If I had to choose between Humber Rescue and HOTA, I would have to recommend HOTA.
The reason being is that they are a professional training company and can run courses with more flexibility than H.R. - who are primarily a rescue service, and can find it difficult to fit courses in.

I was told their is a difference with the powerboat level 2 if it has a coastal element or not, as not all courses are held in coastal areas? Can anyone clarify

[vjmehra]

Yes, if you do the course on a lake for example you would get powerboat level 2, without the tidal endorsement. If however you do it on the coast, or on a tidal river then you get powerboat level 2 with the tidal endorsement.

Estuary training at Pressal near Fleetwood does various courses.

The Rya at wat Tyler out of Croyton Essex is tidal but I don't think it gives coastal part, has any one done a course there?

I did Powerboat level 2 at;

Teeside Nautical Studies - Courses

based in Middlesbrough, next to the Transporter Bridge.
Trevor Forster's a great bloke to deal with and has loads of experience.

HOTA in Hull run RYA courses. Not very cheap though.

Home | Offshore, Onshore Training
