Regarding on-the-water training, schools charge their own rates which depend on the expense of the boat and marina fees, seasonality, the depth of the instruction,  the longevity of the instruction, and the learning power of the student.


Assessments of competence are usually completed in one 6 hour day. An instructor typically charges $100 per hour.
