did teach a lot but very boring at times, if you could have speedup some of the timed viewing material , it would have helped

Overall the course was great. I found some of the commercial boating, river and ocean portions irrelevant as I live in the midwest. I took it to increase my knowledge and did challenge myself.

The course was very informative, and was easy to follow. My only complaint is that I found it extremely frustrating that you had to wait out the mandatory time limit before proceeding to the next page. I am a very fast reader and more often than not I would be done reading the page long before the time minimum was up. This kind of wasted my time, since I would spend a good thirty seconds to a minute sitting there waiting for the next page to be available. Overall the course was great.

There's some areas that needs the timer changed. It's too long. Should have the timers set for 2 or 3 seconds longer then the video playing.

One improvement I could see that would be beneficial to students would be to show them the mistakes they make after taking the quiz's and after the exam. No sense making a mistake if you can't learn from it!

Some times don't match the lesson video length. I have a book so it would have been nice to challenge the quiz right away instead of having to go through the entire module I had already read.

Hi Jayson, We understand the timers can be frustrating for quick readers, but they are required by Transport Canada (or NASBLA) to ensure all students take the time to truly read and understand the information. All course providers have the same time requirements.

The course is very well put together with audio and animations. Until I took the exam, I was not sure how well the course was going to prepare me, but it turned out that the modules were just right and my confidence grew as I started to answer the questions.

Very good course. I am a person who did not grow up boating. At 52 years old, and just starting out, the course was so helpful. I purchased the study guide, too, and, together with the course, I aced the exam.

Thanks for your review. We understand the test can take awhile 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!

Started in 2013 then the deal on the boat feel through and forgot about it. Pick-up again in 2017 and finished like there was no interruption. Worked great.

Very informative, having to repeat every lesson in the module if you failed the quiz was irritating. What I mean having to wait the recommended time even though you have that particular lesson memorized, but other than that I enjoyed the course for the most part. If it could be changed in any way I would recommend removing the wait period for each lesson after you've gone through it the first time and failed the quiz. I think it should be made in such a way that you can skip directly to the lessons you in particular you know you struggled with.
