Boat Handling – Recertification

$520

Enform Nisku Training Campus

Session 1: June 11, 2012

Session 2: June 12, 2012

In order to operate WCSS watercraft, WCSS requires all watercraft operators need to possess a valid WCSS Boat Handling certificate and the Transport Canada MED A3 or MED A4 certificate. To ensure that the WCSS boat operators remain competent, WCSS has created a new one-day Boat Handling - Recertification course. This recertification will be valid for three years. To pass, all students will be assessed on their practical abilities related to the safe operation and proper handling of WCSS watercraft and to deploy oil spill equipment to contain and recover oil spills on rivers or lakes. This field-based course is open to all personnel involved in operating watercraft at oil spills on water bodies
