High Speed Course

Are you going to drive a boat or jet ski at high speed? Then high-speed courses are mandatory. With us you get an efficient, safe and professional implementation — with both theory and practical driving combined in one complete package.

Our high speed course in Kristiansand gives you the necessary skills to travel responsibly at high speed, whether you are riding a boat or jet ski and whether it is in private or in a work context.

Our courses are not only about speed, but also about the sense of mastery and the general understanding of it and traveling at sea in vessels that have the potential to do great harm, both to those on board, but also to other vessels and the people around us. We review all aspects of travelling at sea in high-speed vessels, in a safe environment, to provide everyone with the peace of mind needed to safely navigate at sea.

If there are several of you (minimum 3) who want to take the high-speed course together and there is no space on the scheduled dates, please contact us by filling out the contact form below.

Who is the course suitable for?

Theory part - Online course through FIDL

The theory part of the high-speed course is conducted as an online course in cooperation with FIDL, a recognized provider of maritime courses in Norway.

The first part of the course is taken as a game, developed by FIDL in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. The game-based approach makes learning more engaging and gives you a better understanding of regulations, responsibilities and decisions at high speed. Own app is also available via Google Play or App Store if you want to take the course on mobile or tablet.

When you book the high-speed course with us, you will have access to the online course within a short time. The theory can be carried out at your convenience, at your own pace, before the practical part at sea.

Practical part - Safe training in real conditions

The practical part of the high-speed course is conducted at sea, together with certified instructors. Here you will have the opportunity to put the theory into practice through active driving by boat and jet ski, in controlled and safe conditions.

The training is designed in line with current requirements and focuses on mastery, safety and understanding of the importance of speed at sea. The instructors adapt the exercises according to level and experience, so that both beginners and experienced drivers get good learning outcomes.
