The course content was good I learned a lot about major waterways that I will never use living in Alberta but interesting. The final exam was a bit much.

Amazing! I learned so much! I feel very confident in boating and this course made it so much fun and I had a very easy time remembering everything!

The only downfall. Why you pause a video, you get a big bar across part of the screen. If you are taking notes you cannot see the screen. Make the bottom bar smaller as it takes up too much of the screen. Other than that the course is great.

The Boatsmart course was very thorough. It covered far more material than I was expecting it would, and this is better than not covering enough! Everything (and more) I needed to know to operate a 10 HP 16 foot fishing boat on northern Ontario lakes was covered in detail! You have to take notes and stay on your toes; the entire course, including quizzes and the final exam covers a lot of information. I completed it all in about 6 hours.

Excellent course. Of the 7 lessons - you should have a female commentator/instructor.

Hi, to be honest, the course takes a long time to complete, while the information is accurate and covers everything you need to know on the water, for someone who just wants to take a small boat with a 2hp motor and go fishing on a small lake, the info is too much. I don’t think you will capture everyone because of the length. It is too bad there can’t be two divisions, small lakes pontoon and jet ski sail boat specific and Great Lake/ocean. The one thing that I constantly see is when you meet another boat you pass as you do with a car, for some reason people think you pass opposite. I asked someone who done this, they had the Boatsmart course and said that’s what the book said. I explained and they confirmed later to me what I already knew. Thanks for your time.

I don't think modules should be time restrictive/constrained. If a person wants to read through more quickly, that should be an option.

please use easier words for younger people or people who don't have English as a first language. explanation on the video was very understandable but questions were very hard to understand on the exam. i prefer to you to use similar vocabulary/words in the video and exam.

Some sections were a bit long considering I’m not likely to boat on a sea or ocean - but overall it was ok.

Very clear and easy to understand. Felt there were too many videos to watch however. Perhaps it could be condensed while maintaining the depth of information necessary ?

Great online course, very informative and easy to follow. I got my PCOC in just a few short days, spending online a few hours each day. Thanks.

This course uses YouTube to display much of it's content. When you want to stop and look at the pictures a big banner goes across the course content showing you other available videos, this was sooooo annoying. I bought the family package and there was no way to stop and talk about things. The timing of the course was off, we did 60% of the course in 4 hours and it took 4 hours to do the rest of the course. This extra 2 hour delay meant the travel to use the card got delayed. Yup, poor planning on my part. When I finally took the test, there were things on the test I could not remember seeing. (A light pattern and the meaning of a specific marking on a buoy) Occasionally the timer would go past 0 to 24... hours and keep timing down. I would have to refresh the page to get it to start over, of course this would happen at the end of the first timeout so it doubled the time on those pages. Finally, got off on the wrong foot. I remembered it as boatsmart not outdoor smart and could not find the url to log into searching my passwords for boat.

The complaint that I have with the course is when doing the practice quizzes, it does not indicate which ones you got wrong. This seems counterproductive to learning as I would have liked to have known what I needed to review and study. Very odd process that is in place in my opinion .
