As the industry's primary source of information and advice, Jet Skier & PW Magazine recommends that everyone starting out in this sport has an RYA PW Proficiency training course under their belt. Even if you have been jet skiing for some time, it's always a good thing to have. You can never know too much! And don't forget family and friends that use your craft, they need to do the course just as much as you!
Once you decide to do a course, what now? For starters, phone a few of the listed schools and discuss your needs. More schools are being recognised all the time, so if there's not one listed in the guide close to you, call RYA Training 02380 627400.
