What is a PPCDL License?

The Powered Pleasure Craft Driving Licence (PPCDL) is required for driving of engine powered/jet-propelled pleasure craft (with SZ or SZH licence prefixes) below 24 metres within Singapore port limits.


 

How do I get a license?

You must first undergo training in an approved PPCDL centre. Upon completion, you will receive a PPCDL Attendance Course Certificate.

The cost of this varies depending on your centre, usually around $300

2 Pass the Theory test

You must then study for the PPCDL theory test and sign up for the test at Singapore Polytechnic. You also need to finish an eyesight/handicap test before this.
