“A deliberate focus on language and question structure that parallels the Canadian transport ministry test would increase the efficacy of the course”

“No feedback on quizzes or test. Would love to know which questions I got wrong so that I could learn more. At least one of the questions did not match up with the material (percentage of deaths related to faulty equipment, material said 4% deaths and 8% of accidents but answers were 3% or 8% for deaths).”

“I've been riding dirt bikes since I was 9 years old, at 61 I ride one of the most technologically advanced motorcycles on the planet BMWK1600gtl, I've been pulling toy hauler travel trailers since i was 18, I own a 800 side by side and two 500cc quads lawn tractors, chain saws you name it I have operated it. I knew boating was a whole different ball game I've been a guest on my cousins big boat many times and felt confident I could make my way with my equipment experience without going through the bureaucratic nonsense. I have grandsons now and I need to set a good example, I have twelve pages of notes, any outdoor activity is dangerous but a watercraft is the nuclear equivalent, when things go bad they can go really bad and you cant walk away even if you are able. I am so glad I made the time and took the time to do this on line course its excellent, informative, user friendly and most of all makes you aware of all the Navigational signs, beacons and buoys that our government deploys to keep us all safe, the Lateral and Cardinal systems are an engineering marvel.”

“The course was good. The one thing I do not like is you don't let us review the questions we missed. I would like to know which questions I got wrong so I can learn from the mistake. At this point I'm not sure where I'm wrong and what the right answer is. Plus none of your affiliate links are valid”

“Great learning materials but I had already studied the book (not realizing the course and the book were the same) and then had to wait for the timers before being slowed to move through the lessons. Four hours was TOO long, especially because I had learned the material earlier. Customers should be able to skip through lessons and then move on if they get the quizzes correct. If they don’t score 80 on the quiz, then perhaps they should be forced to sit through the timers.”

“Videos were useful and kept attention on what was otherwise a dry course. All the information was clear, and the end-of-module summaries good for revision. The quiz at the end of each section was frustrating, because no way to know which answers were wrong, and therefore to know what to go back and restudy before final exam. In addition, I found a proportion of the final exam questions did not map directly onto information in the course. Thank goodness it was open book, so I could check my answers before submitting! Fair price and bulk discounts useful.”

“Way over 3 hours. Many Questions were not applicable”

“having to stay on the page for a set amount of time is very frustrating. why? i read and retain information quicker than that. should be able to disable it and move at your own pace. also, why not show the questions that you get wrong in the quiz? how are you supposed to learn if you can't see what your mistakes were?”

“The areas of the course that went too slowly or were 100% clear for me already could not be bypassed. This shifted focus from survival knowledge and what is critical and unique in order to operate a boat, to frustration the timer had not expired by the time the content was complete which frequently left 30 to 60s waiting, bored to death. I personally rate this as follows: “Very poor”; frustrating and too slow/boring in some sections. But it did get me prepared for 100% performance on the final test +1. and I also see a need to prevent someone skimming through content they don’t actually know +1, you dont know what is and is not ok to skip for each individual.”

“The course was good and it had content you would need as a boater. But the test from Transport Canada was a joke and it was worded in the worst possible way. Terrible terrible test from Transport Canada. I think people should just pass the online course test and be certified. There is no need for the Transport Canada test.”

“I was annoyed at having to click through the course for hours when I had already learned the material using the study guide. Needs an option to go directly to the exam. Errors in the online materials (eg, office instead of offence). Some quiz questions are ambiguous. Some small discrepancies between online and printed materials.”

“Good course but Quiz and final exam didn’t inform what questions answered incorrectly..That’s how you learn”

“I did not like that the videos didn’t work on mobile. I liked the pace of the person recording. I did not like the fact that I was done reading a module and could not advance. If there has to be a minimum amount of time that’s required then create a review module that will compensate for it. Otherwise site was easy to navigate. I think the video instruction would be better. Shame it didn’t work for me”

“The content was good but the design of the course could be improved. Some slides were duplicate of the previous slide and the timer was off so that even after the recording was finished talking, I had to wait 10-40 seconds on some pages before being able to click forward. It was also disappointing that on the quizzes following each section I was unable to see which questions I got wrong. I understand not being able to see this on the final exam, but during the learning sections it would be helpful to know what I missed so that I could learn from it.”

“Not a great online experience. Sometimes, the timer forces you to stay on the page far longer than the audio clip. Sometimes the audio doesn't speak the whole page. Words like "nun" sound like "none" which confused me but the course never explained this. And much of the California parts don't even have audio.”

“Too broad. I have NO interest in PWC. Make it more specific. Not enough instruction regarding having to wait before going to the next lesson. I had to call your help desk to find out why the video kept repeating. The instructions to go to the next lesson are printed way too small. One must hunt to find it. Make them BIG.”
