Several questions on the California final exam, I would guess 10 or 15 % percent, were not covered in the subject matter. When a problem arrises, such as when one needs an application id or flunks the final exam, rather the just saying the process can not be completed or just exiting out, the reason for the problem should be stated.

It would have been nice to be able to whatch the videos. The course kept saying that it was a private video and that we did not have permissions to view it. This is evan after signing into veimo. Otherwise I would have given a 10.

Excellent content and very thorough. The main issue is wait time between each page. People who read quickly are left waiting 30sec-1m to hit the next button, this distrupts attention and makes the course take much longer.

Pretty good but some of the sections during the course made you wait too long to get to the next slide, and some of the other sections went too fast-- sometiems inconsistent. Also total course was 4 hours but I thought California only required 3 hours.

Took the course. Unable to take the exam even after multiple attempts. It doesn't connect to the Transport Canada site and then it times out saying I failed the attempt. Custer service email does not work and the tech support phone line glitches, and even when I do get through to the automated attendant, no one answers. Do not take this course. Find another provider.

The courses and exams took me just over four hours, which was reasonable and informative. However, I have been trying to take the final exam, but the website will not redirect me to the test. I have tried on multiple browsers with many troubleshooting attempts. My records show multiple test attempts, yet I haven’t even seen a single question. I’m now on my second hour of trying to access the final exam and feeling like my time has been wasted.

this is the worst course i have ever taken, the amount of time you have to wait after reading the few sentences of information on the slide is ridiculous. and god forbid you get more then two of the extremely tedious and poorly written questions on the chapter quizzes you have to redo the ENTIRE CHAPTER, and its not even like you can read through at your own pace, you have to wait through the terribly long timers on each slide. literally made me want to rip my hair out like omg.

Absolutely brutal format. The time spent on each page is mandatory. Be prepared to spend literally a full day trying to complete this course, waiting for each page to count down its timer, second by agonizing second, before you can move on to the next page, each of which can be read in seconds. It's an incredibly paternalistic and stupid design. The quizzes are focused on completely arbitrary information ("what governmental agency regulates the requirements for life preservers?" Gosh I wonder.) Save yourself from this hell and look elsewhere.

Each question is forced at a few minutes, frequently the website will not go to the next section requiring another few minutes for the clock to reset. Worst website I’ve ever been on. Ended up not finishing exam on this site and buying another boaters license on another website.

March 20 2025 I sat at the computer and took the course. They charged my credit card. Eight weeks later I still don't have a license. Called last week, Chuck told me they have had trouble with the printer for 2 months. For 2 months? They had no trouble taking my money. Go some place else for the course.

I have been waiting for my license for more than five weeks now. I have sent multiple emails but have not received any responses. Additionally, Transport Canada does not have any record of my license. I feel like I am a victim of a scam.

Great course. User friendly. As an educator I recommend that after ever chapter test you let the student see what they got wrong so they can learn from their mistakes and better prepare them for the final.
