Upon successful completion of the basic course, participants receive a sailing certificate for the Okertalsperre, which then entitles them to rent sailboats from the TU boathouse. If there is sufficient
demand, the SITUC team also organizes an exam date for the SBF Binnen, which entitles the holder to operate sailboats on all inland waters in Germany.
