License preparation flow

A clear sequence helps you avoid missing the written exam, practical exam, safety education, or issuance step.

  1. 1
    Choose type

    Pick General Class 1, General Class 2, or Yacht based on the craft.

  2. 2
    Prepare written exam

    Use the official question-bank link plus basic law and safety topics.

  3. 3
    Book practical exam

    Check test sites, dates, and required items for the practical test.

  4. 4
    Complete education

    Confirm whether new or renewal safety education applies.

  5. 5
    Check issuance

    Prepare photo, ID, fee, and any existing-license return requirement.

Split preparation into four blocks

  1. Choose the license type: General Class 1, General Class 2, or Yacht.
  2. Prepare the written exam: check the official question-bank location and passing score, then review with concept quizzes.
  3. Prepare the practical exam: review criteria, common deductions, and test-site flow.
  4. Prepare education and issuance: safety education, photo, fees, and license card issuance.

Two-week compressed plan

Period Work
Days 1-2 Confirm license type, disqualification rules, and test location
Days 3-7 Check the official question bank, use concept quizzes, and organize missed terms
Days 8-10 Review practical-exam route and handling sequence
Days 11-13 Check safety education and issuance materials
Day 14 Confirm booking, ID, photo, fees, transport, and notices

Practical tip

Beginners often struggle with terms before laws. Learn powered water leisure craft, long-distance activity, weather warning, nautical mile, current, port, and starboard first.
