Took me about 4 hours to get through the course but it was very informative. I passed!🤗 I would definitely recommend BOATsmart! for anyone wanting to obtain a Pleasure Craft Operator's lisence. ...And I have.

I agree it is a necessary program. Perhaps there should be a more simple process for boats 20 feet and under...and a more complex test for larger boats? Utilizing a 2 step licencing program.

Great content, educational, easy to follow and prepared well for the final test. Content wise I felt a bit under prepared for specifics on Canadian maritime law ... what act is responsible for this, who responds to that that I felt were not covered, but other than that it was all good. So why not the 5 star rating? The timer on each slide ... so painful, typically read content in 10-20% the time on the timer that I needed to wait for in order to see the next lesson. A mechanism that you have to view each slide is reasonable, if you have to have a timer then make it a realistic time ... ever lesson was painful to sit and wait for that timer. I would recommend your service with a big disclaimer that if others providers do not have the timer then I'd go with them.

Good information, easy to view. Liked that I had the option to listen, watch a video or just read the text. Didn't like that I had to skip manually between each module, and sometimes it only took me 20 or 30 seconds to read the text, but I had to wait on the page for over a minute, which is a huge pain on my expensive cottage internet. Also, a search feature would be useful, as things like Flares and PFDs appear in multiple sections with almost the same information. The clipart is cheesy and often hilarious, but that's fine. Also, what's up with only asking how BOATsmart made me happy and not how it made me frustrated? That's not a reliable survey!

Good course ensured well prepared for test. Time waiting for each kesson to finish detracted slightly from learning experience.

Material was detailed, but presentation was dry. Understand that quiz questions can't be published, but if a test is not 100% it would be beneficial to direct the user to what chapter of the module they could review. Would be great to have an optional review module - so if a user takes the course over a longer period of time that they can do an overview of the most important components of the course (could be an optional module that is only unlocked if all other modules are completed). Course was easy to navigate.

I was happy with the learning format. But I was very unhappy to not be able to see what my wrong answers were. How does one learn from there mistakes if they don't know what they are

I liked it, because it got me my boating license, and the lessons were in a way that anyone could understand them. I just wish that the lessons weren't all 40 seconds long, because I spend more time reloading the page then I do watching the videos.

The modules were practical, easy to follow, and to the point.

The course was very educational. However I am a decently fast reader and did not like having to wait 30 or more seconds per page while the timer counted down.

The online material is very good. The one issue I have is that I purchased the handbook (old school) and studied it for several nights, about 5 hours invested. Then I went online to take the test, and was surprised that I had to re-take all the material again, with no fast-forward option, another 5 hours invested. Had I known that I would be obliged to do the course online, I would have skipped the handbook altogether.

I was able to get my license in a single afternoon; however, I felt like there were a few questions on the final exam which were not covered in the modules.
