“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.”

“Good course over all 1. If you miss pass percent, starting over not good, should be able to go through faster second time. 2. I suggest summary charts at the beginning and ending of each section”

“too many short videos and doesn't really keep your attention makes it hard to retain the information learned but does cover most important laws and regulations and gets you your boat license”

“Good layout. One thing I was wondering is it would have been nice to se what questions I got wrong so I could have corrected them . Maybe after the test a list .”

“It was very time consuming but overall I went from really not understanding how to navigate the waters ways to understanding the procedures and laws that go with it. Despite it being time consuming the information you gain is very beneficial.”

“You should make it very clear to those people that purchase a handbook that they will be required to read the material a second time before they will be allowed to take the test. I spent a lot of wasted time studying and highlighting only to find out I had to do it all over again.”

“I like the website. Good layout. Good end user experience.. I'm not a fan of the law which requires canadians to ask permission before using their own property. I know its for safety... But I'm more a libertarian. I don't think safety should be legislated. Good website though. It works very well, and I appreciated not having to go into a government office. My card arrived pretty quickly too, which was also nice.”

“The online boatsmart animated lessons were very helpful. A bit frustrating that I couldn't skip over the parts that I had already studied in the book.”

“I thought having to rewatch the moduals was HORRIBLE, getting 2 questions incorrect should not make you rewatch 1hour of videos, it should be optional”
