This page provides information on the Small Vessel Operator Proficiency (SVOP) training certificate which allows you to operate a small non-pleasure vessel in near coastal, class 2 and sheltered waters under normal operating conditions. It is an entry level domestic certificate issued by Transport Canada recognized training institutions. 

 

• You must be at least 18 years old to obtain this certificate 
• This certificate is suitable for vessels up to 15 gross tonnage.
