Easy to use and seemed thorough

I felt as though the online course does provide a basic introduction to boating, but I cannot understand how the government thinks it provides a value to those just learning to boat, and may have never boated before. The only way to actually learn is to actually be in a boat, driving, learning the buoys, and being on the waterways. The government has THREE separate stages for beginner learners when driving a car, yet has only one online course for learning to drive a boat? Not to mention the time allocated to completing the quizzes at the end of every module is absolutely absurd! If you actually want people to learn, you have to make the time shorter so that they have to study more... 3 hours is ridonkulous!!!!

The only thing I didn't like about the course was when doing the quizzes after each module I didn't know which questions I had gotten wrong. It would be helpful to provide that because someone like myself would have went back to that section to review before moving on.

Depending on who you are, this could be a mandatory certification for a career or it could just be something you wanted to add to the resume. This is a great opportunity to acquire a license for a skill you may need somewhere down the line. Also the exam is really easy

Terrible. Just a waste of my time. 18 hours of my life I will never get back. Should review the lessons and shorten. Some stuff is intuitively obvious & unnecessarily lengthens the process. Definitely would not recommend. Will now just offer to drive my friends instead of telling them to get their license. 0/10

I did the study guide first which made doing the online course in prep for the exam much easier as they are basically the same. The quiz after each module was good, but it would be better if the quiz were in the same vein as the actual test questions. I found the test questions more convoluted vs the quiz questions. People might be better prepared to do the final test if the quiz questions were like the test questions (less straight forward).

Good content - important information - but took WAY too long to complete!!!

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review Robin! We understand the course can take a while for some students, but the time requirements and quizzes are required by Transport Canada (or NASBLA) to ensure all students are able to fully understand all content. The timed requirements are the same across all course providers, and we find many students prefer the convenience of completing the course from the comfort of home, rather than in a classroom setting. Thanks for sticking with it, and safe boating!

This program was extremely user-friendly. Some points within the modules felt out-of-place at times, kind of like receiving a quick aside, but could have been included as part of a more relevant module more effectively. Having the ability to go back and change answers within the quizzes would also be beneficial, since people often like reviewing their answers before submitting the full quiz. Email reminders were helpful to keep returning to complete modules. Also, as part of this review, what is the optional photo upload supposed to be for? It seems kind of random in my opinion. Overall a fantastic program to get people outdoors and on our beautiful waterways with confidence!

I bought the boat smart book and took the quiz there before I did the online course. That was helpful. There are a few trick questions in the online course, I don't see any value in that type of question. The book provides good reference material for the future.

The online modules were very helpful. 95 percent of the persons who write this test will never boat in shipping channels or see any ocean. There are many good points for safety and a few points that really have no place in this type of boating card. In my opinion! I am happy I used Boatsmart, it would have been much more difficult to pass the exam with out it.

Found the site easy to navigate and very informative. I like the "no rush" part of going through the chapters. After doing all the chapters I found the federal test very easy.

I really didn't know anything about boating except for Port red and Starboard green. This course taught me all kinds of 'new to me' boating information. I passed on my first try.

You should have the option to redo a quiz if you get it wrong instead of redoing the whole lesson.

The videos were much appreciated. As a visual learner, I found them very helpful. While, slightly boring at times, I understand they provide vital information for boater safety.
