“very educational, there was a lot i really did not know ,about boating markers,signs ,laws on the water, the only problem i had was there are a couple other sites very close to boat smart, one i went on ,did the whole course,then found it was not the right one, i used it as a learning tool ,pretty well same format etc. all in all great course"”

“I have been boating all my life and still learned things from the course...however, because my computer is slow...it took me almost 8 hrs to complete the course...and this is not as advertised...in fact at no time was it clearly stated that the online course was mandatory. I had spent 3 evenings studying the book preparing to take the test. I then spent 2 more evenings doing the course and test. I don't own a boat. I did this to take my elderly parents out in their boat.”

“I am writing this review as the parent of the individual who wrote this exam. In terms of the Boatsmart Exam - The course was well constructed and easy to follow. My only complaint is that it is not accessible for learners with learning disabilities. This was my son taking this course and he was unable to select text for note scribing and the speakers voice over was not available in written format. For individuals with learning differences, having the information available in alternate formats would be helpful. (scribing and text to speech programs are not able to be easily used with your existing setup) With regards to the actual Boater Exam - The boaters exam although helpful for understanding the rules etc.. is really ineffective for actual boat users. The written boat exam does not result in the capability for an individual to actually operate a boat and is very focused on large waterways. This serves a particular population but not likely the largest population of boat users which are more than likely operating smaller vessels on smaller lakes and waterways. It is for this reason that I don't support what is effectively a money grab to force "regulation". There were numerous situations on our lake this summer where boaters (with boater licenses) did not know how to actually operate the boat they were in. Additionally, safety conversations about how to ensure the weight of passengers is evenly distributed onboard - how to direct passengers to avoid suddenly switching sides of a boat - how to drive a boat when other boats are towing water skiers and tubers - how to give space to people fishing so as to not cut their line/ swamp their boat - not to allow children to hang over the front of boats - etc. etc.. These are real life boating situations which this exam does not cover. I understand this is not the issue for Boatsmart in terms of facilitating the boater exam, however as a life long boater it is all of this and more which makes me question the true usefulness of this exam.”

“Too much focus on irrelevant information. Many questions and answers hardly connected. Excessively too long.”

“The segments were very insightful and helped me a lot, but the time to wait to retake the end exam was too long for my liking. I was in a rush to get my license and didn't have much time given to complete it, and the waiting was too long I almost missed the deadline.”

“What a pleasure, using boat-smart as a tool for a pleasure craft licence, no pressure, no stress, just do it at your own pace, love the idea of the save the progress feature, it was like a person could leisurely study, n soak all the info in before moving forward, no rush, me personally would do one module a day if not longer, but at end after the final exam, it was only about 5 hours of study n final exam time, they make it so that they want you to pass and get your pleasure craft licence but must study the program. I highly recommend this site for all your pleasure craft questions, n licencing”
