Small Vessel Operator Proficiency

[Bruce]

If you are operating a small Non-Pleasure Vessel, a commercial vessel, you likely need to obtain a Transport Canada SVOP certificate

This is a three day classroom course that has been designed to instruct owners and operators of small Non-Pleasure vessels on the proper safety and operating procedures as required by Canadian law.

If you are operating a crew boat, fishing charters, sailing charters or boat tours you will need this certificate.  The deadline for passenger vessels was November 2009 and for non-passenger vessels the deadline is November 2010.

Courses are available in Victoria and Vancouver and in any location by arrangement.
