Tutor Christie Ralphs says “The Boatmaster course is ideal for boaties with some existing experience who want to increase their knowledge and confidence to deal with different situations.” The course is wide-ranging and informative, with the added benefit of Christy’s local knowledge and experience. Previous student Michael Green describes the course as essential for all boaties. “I’ve done a fair bit of boating,” he says. “But there’s always more to learn. It’s amazing what you think you know – and don’t.” The 12 week course is on Mondays 7pm to 9.30pm and costs $295. Enrolments close on 25 July. Enrol online at waihekecommed.co.nz or contact Waiheke Community Education ph (09) 372-6417.

“Waiheke is a boaties paradise – let’s make it a safe summer on the water,” says Tutor Christie Ralphs. “I’d encourage everyone who goes out boating, even if you are not ‘in charge’, to do a Coastguard boating course. If you are in charge on a boat you are required to be a responsible skipper, know the ‘rules of the road’ and how to navigate. Everyone should also know what to do in an emergency, and ensure they have the right equipment.” The course runs on Monday evenings for 7 weeks, starting 25 October and participants will have the chance to gain the NZ Day Skipper Certificate. The course costs $195 including the Coastguard workbook and assessment pack. Click here for more information. Book today for courses starting from 19 October – Home Cheesemaking, Day Skipper, Film Making, Digital Photography, Garden Design, Social Media, Creation Station, Sewing Skills, Woodwork Skills, French for Travellers, Te Reo Maori, English (ESOL) for Communication, Maths for Parents, Making Comics : A Course for Women, and First Aid Certificate.
