What’s included in a Private Course?
We include all the training and assessment that we do in our standard full-day Boat Licence Course or if you’re looking for the Jet Ski Licence as well, our Boat & PWC Licence Course.
The only difference is that we guarantee your group size will only be as large as you want, and you’ll have exclusive attention of our trainer for the entire course!
Where can I run my Private Course?
Often we run the on-water practical section from a nearby boat ramp or wharf, then move to our partner venue to complete the theory training & test.
You can browse our course locations and find a venue close to you, as we can easily check availability and arrange a room.
When can I run my Course?
The easiest days to organise a private course are midweek on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Friday.
We are able to run private courses on weekends or other days, however these are subject to trainer availability as they are normally busy days at ABC Sydney.
You can most easily lock in a date if you get in early.
How many students can do the course?
For private courses we offer our full-day Boat Licence Course with optional PWC/Jet Ski Licence.
We can run a course for as little as one person (for the ultimate solo learning experience), or you can have a whole group of only your friends with no distractions.
The minimum cost for a private course is charged for 4 students and can be seen in the Frequently Asked Questions at the bottom of the page, with additional students at an extra charge.

Private courses are charged at a mimum of 4 students, with additional students at an extra charge.
Licence processing fees are charged separately, and can be seen on the NSW Government fees page.
Can I run the course out of my home?
Unfortunately due to the training agreement in NSW (that applies to all providers), we are unable to run courses from locations or venues that are not pre-approved by them.
This is a lengthy process that involves submission of floorplans, fire escapes, max occupancy, and more.
Please consider our standard venues, as we have great coverage around Sydney and are sure to have a location near to you.
Is there a minimum amount of people required?
You are welcome to have 1-4 people attend – but courses are charged at a minimum of 4 as detailed above.
We have run courses for just one person before and are happy to do this for you!
