“Found it to be very informative, however I have a few points that i would to address. Being a sailboat owner there were no right of way information for sailboat on sailboat. I feel it would be useful to know which ones you got wrong so you are aware and not make the mistake in real life. It was a little repetitive which made it a bit long. But over all very helpful.”

“I have a concern that one does not learn from the tests. Tests should be learning tools and there is no feedback to the errors. How am I to know which questions I need to learn more about ? Being a retired teacher, I found it frustrating to know that I will never know which questions I got wrong on each module test and the final test. I also thought that some of the questions were written to try to trick the person taking the test. That should never happen. The objective of any test should first and foremost be to learn. I would say that the module lessons were well done and use the senses well. Pictures were very good. All in all, I am delighted to have passed and now can operate my pontoon boat. Thanks.”

“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”

“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!

“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.”

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

“It's a comprehensive course, but my only comment would be, on the quizzes, it would be nice to know what I got incorrect, so that I didn't carry that mistake all the way through to the final.”

“I had read and did the quiz from the boat book and as well as the online course and found it much easier because of that. There was some information in the inline course that was not in the book so I learned even more..”

“I believe some quiz questions might be keyed wrong, as in the wrong answer might have been associated with the question. I also found one or two quizzes that had questions on topics that were covered later in the course.”

“I would like to have the option to go directly to the exam. We purchased the Study GUide and read it so I was prepared to take the exam but instead I had to spend 5 hours going through exactly what was in the Study Guide online.”

“Took it in one sitting: 4 hrs. start to finish. Good basic Knowledge of boating. There should be a free refresher module a year after taking this course to reinforce the material given.”

“I thought the information and the way it was presented was very helpful. I would have liked to be able to revisit the incorrect answers I had on my quiz and get the correct answer. The same with the exam I would like to be able to review my incorrect answers. But overall I enjoyed the course. Thank you”

“I have little knowledge of boating requirements on the waterways. This course is informative and easy to understand. However, when choosing the answer to a question and it is not correct, it would be great to know what the correct answer is. I recommend taking this course even if you are not the captain.”
