Accredited marine licence training providers

Maritime Safety Victoria accredits training providers to deliver marine licence and personal watercraft (PWC) endorsement courses.

The marine licence course certificate expiry period of 12 months (from date of issue) has been extended for certificates issued on or after 1 July 2020. These now expire on 31 December 2021, or a date 12 months after the certificate issue date, whichever is the later.

Fees

  • We do not regulate the fees charged by accredited training providers.
  • Applicants are encouraged to research the fees charged by the various providers, and to be clear about what is covered by those fees.
  • Applicants are also encouraged to check the provider's cancellation and refund policy before booking a course.

Information about providing course feedback or becoming a training provider is available at the bottom of this page.
