Your tool doesn't allow a person to write the exam without taking 4 hr of courses. That's crazy. My wife and I did the courses together. I wrote the test and got my card. But we had to go thru the courses again just for her to write. You have a crazy setup. I won't use it again.

No feedback on quizzes or test. Would love to know which questions I got wrong so that I could learn more. At least one of the questions did not match up with the material (percentage of deaths related to faulty equipment, material said 4% deaths and 8% of accidents but answers were 3% or 8% for deaths).

I've been riding dirt bikes since I was 9 years old, at 61 I ride one of the most technologically advanced motorcycles on the planet BMWK1600gtl, I've been pulling toy hauler travel trailers since i was 18, I own a 800 side by side and two 500cc quads lawn tractors, chain saws you name it I have operated it. I knew boating was a whole different ball game I've been a guest on my cousins big boat many times and felt confident I could make my way with my equipment experience without going through the bureaucratic nonsense. I have grandsons now and I need to set a good example, I have twelve pages of notes, any outdoor activity is dangerous but a watercraft is the nuclear equivalent, when things go bad they can go really bad and you cant walk away even if you are able. I am so glad I made the time and took the time to do this on line course its excellent, informative, user friendly and most of all makes you aware of all the Navigational signs, beacons and buoys that our government deploys to keep us all safe, the Lateral and Cardinal systems are an engineering marvel.

The visualizations and videos were extremely helpful in helping me to remember certain terminology and information included in each section of the course. I love that this course teaches you a lot about safety. However why I’m rating this course 4 stars instead of five is because this course does not really explain how to drive or operate the boat. For example how do use the throttle? How do I slow my boat down? Do certain boats take longer than others to slow down or to speed up? How to you convert nautical knots to mph? How do I put my boat in reverse? These may seem like “dumb” questions but they’re important and they’re something that some people taking this course might not know. Especially if the person is young. How do I tie my boat down to the dock? What are some common boat knots to use and how do I use them? What do I do if I get lost on the water? I feel like these things are super important and should be included in the course.

It was well done but I found the boating modules very long with the set timer per lesson. There was also a fair amount of repeated info if you took the paddle course.

The time indicated on the online platform is not accurate to the time it takes to complete the modules, quizzes, and test. Maybe it only counts the modules? Other than that, everything was great!

Most of the questions I was asked on the exam were not covered in the course. The time limit on sections is too long for someone that is a fast reader such as myself, wasted more time sitting and waiting than learning the content. Questions asked on the course quizzes sometimes were from different sections not yet learned!! All in all, does not prepare you very well asides from what buoys mean what.

Before this course I knew NOTHING about sailing or boats. It was a lot more in-depth then I expected but with the great layout of modules and easy tutorials/ videos, it made everything easier to understand. After taking the course I am way more knowledgeable and confident about sailing.

This test is so much better than previous tests. The presentation was easy to follow, with most slides having a video, as well as the audio.

Remove the time limits. They are completely off and had to sit and wait after being done reading on pretty much every module. Would not reccomend you to anyone from this.

The course provided information that was extremely relevant for the Government Test. As such, although it might not make you a fantastic boater (experience will do that), it provides you with the information you need to begin your journey!

Make the timer optional or make it so if you can prove you have the book you don’t have to sit for 3 hours+ clicking next, I had the book so having to wait for each section was pointless

This course was so approachable and offered many different ways to learn! I think the combination of voice recordings, videos, and visual aids makes completing this course accessible for all!

The course was good. The one thing I do not like is you don't let us review the questions we missed. I would like to know which questions I got wrong so I can learn from the mistake. At this point I'm not sure where I'm wrong and what the right answer is. Plus none of your affiliate links are valid

It was a really long quiz that took me around 4 and a half hours to complete and I'm glad that I never have to do it again. The visuals with the audio was very helpful and I loved when the videos would pop up occasionally on some of the lessons. Although stressful, I'm glad this was online and not a bad way to do it, just very lengthy. PLEASE ADD MORE VIDEOS THEY ARE SO INTERACTIVE AND HELPFUL. There was one video that made me laugh so hard where the boat was coming for the canoe and it kept cutting back and forth, add more comedical ones to make it more interesting!
