It took longer then the estimated completion time, however I honestly have so much more boating knowledge then before I took the course. Well worth the time it took.

Boatsmart provided detailed information on the operation of pleasure crafts of all sizes. With this knowledge I feel much more comfortable taking a boat out on the water.

The narrators voice is annoying.

boatsmart is and easy and accessible way to achieve a boating license and most Canadians should have one, boatsmart is an easy way to do so and I would recommend it to most people who do not have one because it is a time efficient way of doing so.

Course was very well done and overall enjoyable to do. Also, worked very well on my smart phone. Only complaint is that I was able to read through the material much faster than the counter gave time for. Would have been nice to progress at a faster pace for some of the subject matter.

I found it frustrating to have to go through the whole modules to redo my tests when I failed. It was very time consuming. That is the only thing I woild change, not having to go through the module again to re-test.

I had several issues trying to complete the test as the system wouldn't let me. Said I was skipping. Called several times to fix. I was also told I would get some sort of rembursment but have yet to see it. Nancy.

Online course was extremely lengthy, although importance was understood. For a casual small pleasure-craft user, I feel there should be 2 different courses depending on type of boat one operates. Further, I felt a number of questions on the test were not even covered in the course material.

It is good to emphasize the fact that alcohol consumption leads so frequently to boating accidents and the rules for seadoos etc. I would, however, have liked to see much more emphasis on marker buoys and how to navigate them, particularly the green and red ones. It is really hard to know what is the "downstream" and "upstream" channel when you in an unfamiliar lake thus difficult to know whether to stay on the port or starboard side of the buoys. Also, as an aside, I was canoeing in Massassaga Provincial Park this summer and the motorboat drivers rarely (like virtually never) slowed down when passing canoes. One group of young girls was actually swamped by the wake of a motorboat and had to swim their canoes to shore to empty them! In the same park we camped on a channel that was probably less than 30 meters across. Lots of motorboats drove by, none slowed to 10 mph as the law says and the shoreline and canoes was constantly being bashed about by their wake. Why, in such a well-used park was there no policing of this dangerous and discourteous action?

I really loved everything about your online course, it's super informative and very visual. There is ONE thing that really annoyed me. If someone reads the physical Boat Smart book and buys the test, they have sit for 8-9 hours re-reading everything they just read, in order to take the test. It's frustrating to spend a few days learning the material and then have to sit down and spend another day watching the movies with identical content. You should be able to buy JUST the test, or at least have a warning in the physical book that you're required to take the online course, regardless of whether you read the book or not. I would have bought my license a long time ago, but I bought the book first, studied for a few days, bought the test and found out that I have sit for a whole day to get through the content. It really put me off of taking the test and didn't attempt the course again until a year later. I would suggest an option to just take the test, otherwise, don't offer a physical book.

The modules are very thorough. As I do lake boating only, I found the information very overwhelming. Would it make any sense to have an exam for lake only? I found the timer throughout the modules a bit annoying. I think we can do without. Thank you

Good course. Easy to understand and go through. However, I still have not received my official Pleasure Craft Operator Card.

Very good platform with a nice learning videos and good learning flow. Only disadvantage i found was that at the end of each module where there is exam, it tells you the score of the test (i.e. 80%) but it does not show you the questions you answered wrong. Other then that, i recommend it!

Although I would have liked slightly less clicking and loading (option of playing continously would be good) I found it a good way to do the study. The section tests helped a lot. Well worth it.

I enjoy the format of the course and found it very thorough. I chose to read the information and would have liked to be able to move forward, in some cases, ahead of the time assigned on the timer.
