Boat Handling Course

In preparation for the arrival of charity’s trip boats in 2025, we are looking for volunteers to train as crew.

RLRS is an accredited training centre for National Community Boat Association (NCBA) training courses. The course is a way for people to learn sufficient boating skills for them to be able to take a private boat out in ordinary conditions or helm a community boat under a qualified captain. The course is for people aged 18 years or over and between 1 and 4 people are trained together. No previous experience is necessary.

The course takes place on a boat approved by the trainer concerned as meeting the requirements for the course. It takes at least 20 hours of boating which may be split in to several sessions. The course is tutored by an NCBA approved trainer. When several short sessions are included, extra time may is needed for the revision of previous sessions.

Dates
  • Further dates will be available shortly. Please follow the contacts below for more details.

These courses are ONLY open to volunteers who are prepared to skipper & crew boats operated by Unlock Runcorn.

To apply or find further information please contact our NCBA trainer chair@unlockruncorn.org or telephone 07870 284360
