Why choose Stormforce Coaching for this course?:

Powerboat Instructor and Advanced Powerboat Instructor Courses are taught by Powerboat Trainers. We are one of only a very few companies in the world that has two Powerboat Trainers on its full time permanent staff. This means we do not have to rely on contractors and can be much more flexible with dates. It also means we are able to look after customers rather than relying on a outside contracted Trainer to come in and run the course.

As a company we have run a diverse range of powerboat courses. This means our Trainers can relate to the type of craft you will be using and the environment you will be working at. Our course is run predominantly using our 6 and 8m RIBs, however we make use of one of our displacement craft or tiller steered powerboats where appropriate.
