I did mine with the sea rescue guys at Pt Peron. They are volunteers and ot is them that is going to pick you up, so they do make sure you learn something.

I despair for the guys that say they did a quick course, or the guy said you would pass, or whatever bullshit.

I would second Pt Peron

I had a nice young lady at woodmans point teach me,

the office is just behind the shop there,

although i phoned and booked before hand (naturally)

very patient and helpful, even let me do a few more goes and docking / undocking

after I passed, just for my own self confidence.

 I've seen people very nearly crash the boat whilst doing their practical part of the ticket and I bet you they got the big thumbs up. We were sitting around with the crab pots out so we saw them from the time they turned up untill when they left. Sign here and give me the money, your good to go champ.

Secound the woodies point people, I also found them helpful, not in a rush etc .

So every person getting their car lic in Perth this year are fully compendant and exllecent drivers are they?

nope, fact of life is you really learn far more once your out there , not saying thats the safest way to do it, but

thats our system.

Nextly ( new word!) I for the life of me dont know why all rec boaters in W.a dont

get sent a monthly /2 monthy newsletter from fisheries/lic/sea resue, water police combined stating the full

circumstances of every accident /incident so we may all learn from these things.

How many rec and comm boat accidents has there been in the last couple of months that we basiclly

know bugger all about.Those whom forget the past are condemmed to ................ etc.

Good luck , gleen all you can from the book and your test, and approach your rec boating with caution

and a sense of mortality for you and your crewman whom you have responsability for .

I did it with the group that work out from East Freo near the Leewein barracks.
I thought they were good and professional.
Cheers

If wanting to do your RST than have a chat to John Adams from Fremantle boat school. A very knowledgeable bloke and a nice guy in general. He also offers seperate sounder tutorial courses to teach sounder reading to those who are stuggling. You can call him on 0405 209 101.
