With just over two weeks to go, we are on the countdown to the start of the free maritime training program!
Location: Twofold Bay Yacht Club, Eden and Bega town for Accredited Training.
Date: Friday 2nd June 2023, fortnightly until 1st September
September ā October: online webinars
Requirements
No entry requirements for the webinars/talks/non-accredited training
Accredited training: you must live/work in NSW (you donāt have to be at work), unfortunately, it doesnāt extend to those at school.
We can offer the accredited training part for those who do not meet the Smart and Skilled (funding) criteria for a fee. Please enquiry directly.
Women/Men
This is predominantly a program for women. However, we have one or two spots for men. Please contact us directly.
What do I bring?
Just yourself. We supply all materials, tools, and Personal Protective Equipment (and goodies!)
What qualification do I end up with?
If you complete all the Safety Skills Set accredited training, you will be well on your way to being a General Purpose Hand (still 3-4 units to complete for a full GPH). This will save you time/money if you go on for further training as these units feature in all maritime training.
Non-accredited training. Donāt be put off, this training is based on accredited training and will be a fantastic foundation for future study.
Connections
You will be introduced to various professionals in the maritime industry, and be able to attend talks (some face-to-face, some online) to ask questions.
Webinars
You will meet professionals on webinars and attend useful talks on various topics.
Boats
We will experience different vessels and learn about their systems

We pride ourselves on top-class support in everything we do. All members of this program will have access to a private and secure platform for that support as a group or individual.
