I have done the course about 9 years ago. Its interesting and worth the money spent.
and at that time i did nt need it. Just for knowledge etc.During that time it was stated that the lic would one day become necessay for all engine driven boats . now it isl happening.

I just did this course a couple of wekkes ago and i must say that it is very interesting guys. and for sure you'll learn from it. i just have a 9.9hp engine but i think it is important for everyone to take the course

I did this course when I've still had a 9.9 and it was really worth it and I've learned a lot from it.

when i did the course they had courses till 8.00pm but it would be better to ask when you'll be booking the course.

Still can't understand why this is not done to every boat since you can kill someone even with a 6hp and in Malta we still have a lot of boats with inboard engines declared as HP instead of BHP. For example my outboard is 20HP but on the hood it states 115BHP and I pay for that power. There are still a lot of boats with example 17hp engine but the Bhp is 75 and they are declared as 17hp/or bhp!!!!

This is the part-time schedule from MCAST. http://www.mcast.edu.mt/courses_parttime.asp#8
I have also queried a course by Malta Powerboats School which takes place on 2 days. The certificates received is valid to sit for Nautical Licence by MMA. Course fee is €300 but €250 for February.

Nobody knows time and dates. You have to apply first, then they see how many applied to be able to split people into groups.
