Our Courses
Robert Lawrence2025-02-19 Attended an Advanced Powerboat Instructor course at Marine Power Training, travelling from South Wales after a strong recommendation which I can now thoroughly endorse. Fabulous facilities, a comprehensive list of the latest top of the line equipment on a modern 8.5m, twin engine, sports RIB and the friendliest, enthusiastic and most knowledgeable bunch of guys you could hope to meet. The course was excellent value and the trainer, James Davies, can only be described as the ultimate professional's professional. I left the centre inspired. J Smith2025-02-17 I have just completed and passed my Yachtmaster Theory with Philip and his team. Philip has an incredible amount of knowledge and experience and made the learning environment very relaxed and enjoyable. His patient way of teaching through audible and visual techniques made the course informative and also kept me engaged throughout. I would highly recommend his company for any training and I'm looking forward to completeing my advanced power boat traing with him. Graham Nickerson2025-02-14 Just completed my PB2 course with Marine Power Training. Richard and Andy were excellent over the 2 days and provided a very professional and relaxed atmosphere. Plenty of time spent on “Logan” the 6.00m RIB to gain real boat handling skills especially on the tidal river Hamble. Highly recommend these guys if you are thinking of doing this course. Graham Alex St James2024-12-18 Great experience, very knowledgeable instructors who kept it interesting and enjoyable. Many thanks and I will be back for more. Gavin Millar2024-12-02 Marine Power Training deliver an extremely high standard of training. I've recently completed a PB2 and then a 2 day advanced powerboat theory refresher with MPT. Philip Tayson has a exceptional gift for understanding his pupils' perspectives and abilities. Philip builds individual, effective and enjoyable learning pathways for each pupil. Marine Power Training will be my first and only choice for my next course and for all future RYA powerboat training. Six weeks later I've just completed an RYA Advanced Powerboat course with Marine Powerboat Training. All three instructors, Philip, Ian (aka Fidds), and Richard contributed to a very useful, enjoyable and confidence building course to a continued 5 star standard. Andy Pedrick2024-11-04 This month i tried to improve my knowledge and skill with a Powerboat Advanced Course. I was pleased with the detail and enhanced knowledge within the course. The new XS rib with twin engines was a delight to helm and work on as crew. The course was delivered in an enjoyable format with plenty of time for questions. Once again MPT delivered big time, thank you to the training team especially Philip. Ercem2024-10-13 Took a 2 day RYA Level 2 Powerboat course. Had a great time while learning loads. Would happily use again Charon Baggaley2024-09-05 Thank you - excellent first aid course. Felt comfortable asking our instructor (Ian) questions appropriate to my own work situation so I feel comfortable using the information and updated skills provided. Gus Holloway2024-08-19 Excellent facilities, equipment, and coaching. Great emphasis on safe and professional craft handling. Highly recommended for power boat training. Neil Chester2024-08-14 I’ve just returned from Warsash after completing my 2-day RYA Level 2 Power Boat Training at Marine Power Training. From the outset, Philip was friendly and professional and made me feel very welcome. The training was incredibly comprehensive, with apx 1.5hrs of classroom work each day - with the remainder being on the water. We were training on Logan (pictured), a 6m Rib Eye, which was immaculate. After two (long!) days, I really feel I have learnt so much and am confident to go out alone and put these new skills into practice. I’m sure there maybe cheaper and shorter courses to gain a PB2 qualification, but if you want first class training, by a super experienced guy on a lovely RIB, then I can’t recommend Philip highly enough.
