“It was with some in trepidation that I attempted this after reading what I could online on the Simply Sailing website. I should not have worried! The subjects are dealt with logically with emphasis on the intelligent aspects, mainly safety and wearing a PFD. I was thrilled to score well and feel that I have educated myself in my advanced years. Thank you to BoatSmart.”

Thanks for your review. We understand there is a lot to learn in the course, but that's because there is so much to ensure you are a safe boater. We constantly review our course materials to ensure they are up-to-date and meeting student needs. Our content is required by Transport Canada and is consistent across all providers. We find that many students prefer the convenience of completing the course online, rather than at an in-person course, which can take a minimum of 8 hours. Thanks for sticking with it. Safe boating!

“Very informative information. Truly enjoyed the experience and appreciate the knowledge gained. After taking this course, I truly cannot believe how houseboaters can rent and navigate our waters without a license. There is so much to know. Thank you”

“To me it was a awesome way to learn about boating rules and all that and at the same time get a license. One thing I would suggest though is that if u fail a quiz it should tell you what answers you got wrong so that you can go back and review only those topics. The videos are a very good idea. -Alex”

“Excellent course. The only suggestion I would have is to show the questions you get wrong so you can study that in more depth. Being able to follow along reading and listening at the same time was a great help to my study needs . Would recommend this course to everyone. Regards Carol”

“The study material was so informative, l believe that every Canadian should be familiar with the containt of the test, to be familiar with the safety precautions.”

“The BoatSmart course has great potential, but because the length assigned to each video did not always match the time the video took the play, the process was more time consuming then it needed to be (for example, some videos were only supposed to be 30 seconds, but would loop for 45 or more). This happened several times. Also, while the end of section quizzes were helpful, they were much easier than the Government of Canada test, which made me feel ill-prepared once that begin. I was lucky enough to pass the first time but would have preferred for test quizzes to match the nature of the final exam.”

“Thorough with content and "forces" you to digest information before proceeding to each next stage thus ensuring you've understood it, however quite slow, repetitive and very time consuming.”

“There were several problems with both the course materials and the test. - not enough time dedicated to bouys and navigation -meanwhile fire extinguisherswhere covered in three places Not enough time dedicated to rules of the road and descriptions were vague. "As the give way vessel you can pass the stand to vessel to either side but preferably to starboard". Whose starboard? Theirs or mine? - safety items should have been grouped together instead of spread out over multiple sections -info about flares was inconsistent in the instructional material If I didn't have prior experience I would not have passed.”

“Very easy to navigate from module to quiz. The saved information was always correct and I enjoyed the audible on/off function depending on my environment. Thank you BOATsmart!!”

“Overall a good program, but could use some work on the layout. The fine or faint text font is hard to read for hours on end, I would suggest a bold font instead, as well as arranging the information on each page so that it can be viewed at once, rather than having to scroll down the page unnecessarily. In several places the information could be fleshed out more, as an example the idea of going upstream or downstream and how this applies in tidal areas is not clear. Also I found some test questions were asked when the information wasn't presented until the next module.”

“It would be good to know what questions you got wrong while doing the module and the final test. The study guide (paper version) should be included with the price.”
