In NSW a Boat Licence Course is required for people over 12 years of age to complete training, prior to upgrading to a PWC licence course. 

You will need to firstly complete the Boat Licence course, then add on the Personal Water Craft program. This upgrade can be completed following the BLC, on the same evening.

Sea School provides a comprehensive face to face, step by step, presentation for all their boat and PWC licence courses.

Should you prefer to pre read or study beforehand, download the Boating handbook.
This Learner's guide includes a list of study questions known as the 'Boating Knowledge Quiz'. 

For PWC / jet ski operations, download the Personal Watercraft Handbook.
