Those looking to brush up on their boating safety in the New Year will want to explore a pair of programs to be offered at the Prince Rupert Campus of Northwest Community College in January.
The First is the Small Vessel Operator Proficiency Program which provides basic theoretical knowledge to people with specific practical skills and experience in commercial power driven vessels. Upon completion of the 24 hours of instruction, students will have the skills and knowledge to take charge of a non-commercial vessel up to 5 tonnes operating in designated waters. Successful completion will provide the participants with the Small Vessel Operator Proficiency Certificate which is valid for the operation of a small non-passenger commercial vessel.
The Course which costs 895 dollars will be offered and runs from January 11th to 14th 8:30 to 5:30.
All Participants should take note of the pre-requisite for the program which is the requirement of a Transport Canada Candidate Document Number prior to the course.
More background on the Small Vessel Operator Proficiency program can be found here.
NWCC is also hosting an eight hour Marine Emergency Duties Course, offering a basic personal safety training certificate upon completion, something which is mandatory for persons working as crew members of fishing vessels or small commercial vessels shorter than 12 metres in length and operating no more than 25 miles off shore.
The Course which costs 288 dollars will be offered January 9th and runs from 8:30 to 5:30 PM.
All Participants should take note of the pre-requisite for the program which is the requirement of a Transport Canada Candidate Document Number prior to the course.
You can learn more about the program from the NWCC Website here.
