We have well qualified and experienced instructors with extensive participation in the recreational and commercial maritime industry. Our comprehensive training courses are easy to follow, designed to accommodate everyone, from the first time boatie to the more experienced.
Our training is conducted at:
the Volunteer Marine Rescue Brisbane training facility on Allpass Parade / Sinbad St. Shorncliffe opposite the Sandgate Golf Club and
Spinnaker Sound Marina, Sandstone Point.
Training can be conducted at other suitable locations if required.
The training courses for both the boat and jet ski are run on Sundays plus Saturdays when required and at least one day mid-week if there are sufficient numbers and other days are available by arrangement.
Large groups, schools and clubs are our speciality and can be accommodated and welcomed.
Our courses for both the boat and jet ski are usually conducted on the same day with some exceptions during the winter months or bad weather.
We have available, the latest BoatSafe Workbook. This is yours if required and it provides a very suitable reference for review and to increase your marine knowledge. There is no need to buy or bring any documentation as everything is provided at the course.
We ask people to arrive around 7.15 AM to complete the required registration paperwork and the combined theory course for the boat and PWC licences commence at 7.30 AM. The practical training and assessment will be conducted as the weather and conditions permit or class formation demands. Finish time is around 4.00 PM depending on numbers.
The on water training is conducted on the waters of Cabbage Tree / Nundah creeks and Bramble Bay being part of Moreton Bay. Consideration is always given to the weather conditions at the time. "Your safety is our Priority"
The vessels used for the training are :-
5.7 Quintrex Cruiseabout powered by Suzuki 150hp outboard and
2018 - 155 hp GTX SeaDoo Jet Ski.
Both vessels meet the survey and operating requirements of AMSA, (Australian Maritime Safety Authority) and MSQ, (Maritime Safety Queensland.)
Come and enjoy the relaxed and informative learning environment of Allstate Boat Licensing and Training BN at one of our courses at Shorncliffe by the sea. Please contact Peter to discuss any aspect of our courses.
We assist SLSQ clubs and members by working in with Chief Training Officers and Club Captains in providing the avenue to gain the "Statement of Competency" for Recreational Marine Drivers Licence and Personal Water Craft licence as a prerequisite to White Water Rescue awards through Surf Life Saving.

Students are required to wear suitable ENCLOSED FOOTWEAR and bring a form of photographic ID, pen, sunscreen, SUITABLE CLOTHING, SUNGLASSES and a HAT is recommended. Bring your CAMERA to help remember a great day.
For PWCs', I recommend WET GEAR such as TOGS and RASH SHIRT and maybe a WARM JACKET depending on the weather
Tea and coffee is available during the course. There is a suitable café / lunch bar within walking distance with a good range of food. Sufficient time is provided for course participants to have lunch if required.

Thank you again, we greatly appreciate it!
Good afternoon Peter
My thanks again, both to yourself and Josh, for the courses yesterday. It was the most productive day I've had for some time. Getting my boat and jet ski licence is something I've had on my To Do list for years, and it was very satisfying to yesterday tick off the prerequisite courses for obtaining those.
All the best,
Joe

Hi Peter
I would like to thank you and your wife for a great day on Saturday. Your manner and ability to communicate made the experience very enjoyable and gave the participants an understanding of their responsibilities while in control of a boat
Regards,
Rob
