I think the experience was good. It was definitely longer than I expected it to be and much longer training than when my wife wrote it. Of course it is important to be well trained for my own safety and the safety of others. My number one recommendation is that throughout the training modules especially, but the test as well that you have the opportunity to review the questions you got wrong. How can you learn otherwise? It is a little unsettling to know that I got a few questions wrong, but have no idea which ones they were. I would like the opportunity to clarify my misunderstandings so that I feel 100% confident on the water...not 80% or 96% in my case. I strongly recommend highlighting incorrect answers throughout the training, then I would feel confident recommending you to others.
