SAMSA Category C – Up To 9m
The South African regulator, SAMSA has the responsibility of creating the developmental framework for the maritime industry. We focus on the small craft license which enables certified skippers to operate power vessels up to 9m in length. This is a day skipper course but can be extended to Coastal which includes a night rating.
Our philosophy is to train candidates in a manner that exceeds the requirements of the SAMSA controlled examination. Preservation of lives and preservation of assets is our objective and as such we provide best instruction in both the theory and practical sessions. We have developed our own inhouse training manual to facilitate the instructional process.
