We kindly ask you to read this document carefully and sign at the end.

Please remember to bring a passport-size photograph with you. There is a photo booth next to the train station in Denia.

Start date

The date(s) of your course are indicated in the Booking Receipt.

Course schedule

The complete Powerboat level 2 course lasts two full days. If you booked the Powerboat level 2 direct assessment, the course lasts one day and is taught 1-to-1. The direct assessment is for powerboat drivers with some experience.

The timings for the actual instruction are 09:00 until 16:00 with both course options. The meeting time is a little earlier (see below), and you should expect to be around until at least half an hour after the last session ends. We'll use this time to wash down equipment and boats and return kit to stores.

Clothing and personal equipment

Clothing should be comfortable and practical. Please bring clothing appropriate for the time of year. Your footwear should be comfortable and with a good grip. Boat shoes or soft-soled shoes are the best option. Sunscreen all year round and in the Summer you should wear sunglasses and a cap.

If you are not used to the sea or are prone to sea sickness, ask your pharmacist for advice.

You can bring a notebook and pen or pencil to take notes.

We usually have lunc on the boat and we suggest that you bring a simple lunch (a sandwich or salad); there are bars where you can get a sandwich but the service can be very slow, especially in Summer. We also suggest you bring water and some snacks (nuts, energy bars, fruit for example). For safety reasons, the intake of alcohol on board is not allowed.

Weather forecast

Don't forget to check the weather forecast before choosing your clothes. Go to the AEMET website (http://www.aemet.es) and search for Denia.

Evaluation of your practical course

There is no formal exam, but your instructor will expect active participation and will be evaluating your skills throughout the course. Don't worry about this; there's plenty of time to deal with any areas where you need extra practice.

After the course, we will send you a questionnaire so that you can evaluate the instruction and course organisation. Your comments here are very important to us. It would also be very useful for us if you could leave a comment on social networks.

Photography

We hope you have a great day with us and we understand that you want to take photos and even post them on social media … If you take photos with images of your fellow students, please ask their permission before posting them. Sometimes, there are minors on board (participants aged between 16-18 years). In these cases, we ask that you never post the photos.

Your instructor will most likely take some photos to share with the group. If you do not want any image of yourself to appear, please tell the instructor. You can also indicate this in the image consent form.

Cancellations

The course may be canceled when the weather conditions advise or due to force majeure. In the event of cancellation you can reserve another available date or request a refund.

We will send the final confirmation for your course three days before the start date.

If you have to contract accommodation or transport, we recommend you wait for a final confirmation from the school, since courses may be resheduled for reasons beyond our control, although this is not common.

Changes to your practical course

Once your reservation is confirmed, you can change the date and time of your course up to 10 days before the scheduled date.

You can find all the conditions of sale and contracting here.
