Ring Sorrento Surf Club

There is a guy linked to the Sorrento Surf Lifesaving Club who does it as he regularly has his boat on display in the carpark.  I think from memory the phone number is 1800 skipper or something like that.  Call the club and ask as they should be able to give you the number.   A couple of guys have bought boats from me have gone through him and he is cheap and fast.

quick and cheap

Mon, 2009-10-05 09:08

Theres a reason why they are quick and cheap, they just want you to past the test and then the rest is up to you , spend a few dollars more as you only get one chance out there and it may pay of

The old addage: fast, cheap, quality, pick two.

Probably will look into getting one myself. Would be good to get it all over in a day (morning learn theory, arvo in practice, but not sure if thats how they work). Gotta remember to go over the workbook I have.

The TL3 is more advanced for

Tue, 2009-10-06 20:22

The TL3 is more advanced for sure Rob, the skippers ticket is pretty much crap imo. As the others have said some of the "professionals" basically do the written test for you and the on water exam can be ridiculous.

This has been my experience any way. One of the better guys to go see is Bob Slight in Kingsley, pricier, but you'll actually learn something.

Yeah they cover the same

Tue, 2009-10-06 20:48

Yeah they cover the same sorta things, just the TL3 is heaps more in depth. I bet a lot of people that have done they're RST have forgotten most of it. Whereas a course like TL3, you'll probably retain and use the info more.
