Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to ride personal water craft, usually as part of a group, in slight water conditions and according to planned courses.A personal watercraft (PWC) is a vessel with an engine used for propulsion, a fully enclosed hull and is designed not to retain water when capsized. The operator sits, stands or kneels on the vessel and uses handle bars to steer the craft. Craft are often referred to by their trademarked brand names which include Jet Ski®, WaveRunner® and Sea-Doo®.This unit provides skills to ride craft in slight water conditions in areas of exposed coastline with surf but without overfalls and tidal races present. Water would feature breaking white capping waves up to 1.25 metres. Riders at this level can operate craft in in moderate winds of 11 - 16 knots (Beaufort Scale).It applies to leaders, guides or instructors, who use these skills when leading participants during riding activities. Leadership skills are provided in complementary units.This unit applies to any type of organisation that delivers outdoor recreation activities including commercial, not-for-profit and government organisations.Recreational boating is regulated by specific laws in each Australian state and territory with variable rules. General and specific waterway rules apply to the operation of personal watercraft. All training and assessment activities must comply with the local state or territory requirements.Most states and territories require personal water craft riders to hold a licence but they are not required to be certified as competent in this unit. | ||
