Who it's for · Powerboat schools
Full RIB weekends, with every form signed before the briefing
Powerboat Level 2 dates sell on your own website, day and night. Everyone on a group booking gets their own form, and a parent signs for anyone under 18. Keely warns you before a RIB or an instructor with something out of date goes on a course.
- £150 a month + 1.5% of bookings paid online
- Nothing on cash or bank-transfer payments

Group bookings
One person books four places
A dad books a weekend for his family and a friend. Keely keeps him as the buyer and sends each of the four their own medical and next-of-kin form. Under-18s need a parent's signature, and Keely asks for it.
On the morning, the instructor has a crew list for each RIB with emergency contacts. Nobody is filling in a clipboard on the pontoon.

Powerboat Level 2, four places. Mark Ellis booked and paid, but is not on the course. He gets the receipt; each person gets their own form. Lucy is 14, so a parent signs: her reminder went at 09:00, and the office didn't have to chase.
One course, from the office's side
From a gift voucher to the next course
Powerboat Level 2 for one student, as Keely runs it. The office steps in only when something needs a person.
The day before
17:00
RIBs and instructors checked
Each RIB has its own list: flares, first aid kit, engine service, and anything you add, such as kill cords. Put a RIB or an instructor with something out of date on the course and Keely warns you and asks for a reason.
Day one
08:30
Who's ready
One screen shows who has arrived, whose forms are done and who still owes money. Medical notes are shown only to the office and that course's instructor.
Day two
16:30
Signed off on a phone
The instructor records attendance and the outcome. The student sees it in their logbook. You still register the RYA certificate in the RYA's own system.
The day after
10:00
SRC and first aid, next
A follow-up email offers the courses that usually come next, such as SRC and first aid. Next time, they can go in the same basket as a powerboat course.
RIB checks
RIB checks
No RIB goes out with a check out of date unless someone decides it can
Each RIB has its own list: engine service, kill cords, flares, first aid kit and the trailer, each with its next date. Put a RIB with something out of date on a course and Keely warns you and asks for a reason, and keeps the answer on record.

Questions
What powerboat schools ask us
- Can we add a date quickly when a group asks for one?
Yes. Add the date and its places and it shows on your website straight away. If the group books by phone, build the order in the office and send them a link to pay.
- Who registers the RYA certificates?
You do, in the RYA's own system, as you do now. Keely keeps your school's own records: attendance, the outcome and a numbered completion record.
- Can we sell SRC, first aid and kit alongside Powerboat Level 2?
Yes. Courses, books and kit go in the same basket, and a gift voucher can be used against any of them.
- What happens when we cancel for wind?
You choose a refund, credit or a new date for each student, and Keely records it against the booking. Students can pick the new date themselves, or the office moves the booking in one step.
