Appointed in 2003 as an RYA training centre giving personal watercraft owners the chance to take their PWC proficiency course on site.

The course is held on our own lake with Principle Instructor Paul Exon.

We are able to offer the course for both sit down and stand up Jetskis.

At Six Hills we want you to get the most out of your Jetski by becoming more proficient in the use of your craft and enjoying every moment you and your family spend on it.  With the ever increasing insurance scrutiny most companies insist that they will NOT insure persons between the ages of 12 - 16 years unless they hold the RYA Personal Water Craft 1 Day training course certificate, you may not be aware that if you want to take your ski abroad your MUST have this certificate.

The cost of the course is £145 per person and includes a light lunch and refreshments.

A non re-fundable deposit of £20 is required when booking your course. 

The course consists of on and off the water practical lessons, scenarios, theory, check lists and safety. Please see below for course content.

If you have purchased your ski within the last six months you should have a valid £50 voucher towards the RYA training course.

RYA training courses are being run every Friday, to book your place or for further information contact Paul Exon on 01664 434 080 or email info@sixhills-jetski.co.uk
