Pay attention:
When you sign up for the Practical Training Boatman, you will do the Basic Safety Training Deksman later.
After you sign up and pay, you will receive a learning agreement. With this agreement and a medical certificate from a recognized doctor, you can apply for a service booklet (with stamp Lichtmatroos).
You must complete the Basic Safety Training Deksman before the practical exam. The cost (€ 390) is not included.
Edumar is recognized by the CBR to train boatman NL: matroos according to the European directive.
After completing the training course and the practical test, the result is sent to the CBR.
The candidate receives a certificate of the ‘Practical Boatman exam’, from the CBR. With this certificate, the candidate can have the qualification of boatman NL: matroos in the Service Booklet NL: dienstboekje at the SAB. With this, the candidate is officially qualified as a boatman NL: matroos on European inland waterways.
