“I think it covers a little about a lot of things. Maybe it should be tailored more to pleasure craft that is 40’ and under. Anything bigger, and really it’s not a pleasure craft but a yacht that someone professionally looks after operating. Perhaps too much into maintenance and how to do things associated with that isn’t part of operating the boat. Just touch on the importance of proper maintenance is noteworthy. This course states over and over the importance of wearing a PFD. I get that most deaths are associated with that, but again this is an operating certificate, perhaps stay within those boundaries. This course has typical mission creep and has drifted in to too much of everything but not enough on what’s really important. Is firing a flare that important? Not really but I had 3 questions regarding it and the module covered 4 types. I think people would figure it out if they get to that point, chances are they wouldn’t because they forgot what was really important and not really covered in this course. It is in the right direction, however, I just looked for the aim of the course, and it is to reduce the number and severity of boating related accidents and fatalities. This is not an operator card aim. Perhaps you need to change the name of this course, I was expecting to learn how to operate a boat, I didn’t. Perhaps this is why I reviewed the course as I did. Personally I think the government is making money here for something that isn’t in their jurisdiction. Yes, educating the masses about boating safety, but holding us ransom with this course as a prerequisite to operating a boat without any other course is disturbing! I think that if you want to meet the aim of boatsmart, then steer people toward taking a proper operating course. This is when accidents and fatalities would decrease. No one flies an airplane, or drives a car without an actual course and practical test. Why isn’t a boat the same way?”

“I loved how visually appealing your course was, the combination of videos and audio readings was great! There were a few errors in wording but overall well edited. There were also three or four questions on the exam that I couldn’t recall being covered in the content of your course but figured out. 🙌🏼”

“While the content was valuable, it was incredibly frustrating at the length of time it took to complete. I understand the need for a set time in each module so that the modules aren’t able to be skipped through; however, I was able to read the content with a great deal of time left I would then have to wait to pass until I could advance to the next module. That being said - I do believe that I learned good information. Thank you for your consideration on my comments.”

“Very informative course that prepared me well for the final boating exam. However, the time limits for reading the information pages were very irritating. I found that I could read through it in about half the time provided and then had to sit and do nothing for sometimes over a minute. I understand having time requirements helps ensure people don’t skip reading, but I think the amount of time provided needs to be re-evaluated so that faster readers don’t get bored.”

“I really liked the way the information was structured, but the timer on every page was a bit much. I can understand if it's a mandate, but sometimes it only takes a few seconds to read through the page.”

“Neat course, well divided and balanced. Some sections too long while reading. Videos/animations when available are well-made. Would have liked more navigation materials. Some questions on exam are not well constructed and can be confusing.”

“I believe the timer on some questions need to be revised.... audio was a minute long reading the paragraph took less and timer was 2 mins 30 seconds, seems excessive.”

“All in all a great experience. One note for me was that I went out and bought the book and read it start to finish including the quizzes. Once finished I redid all quizzes and then the practice exam. When I logged in to the course I realized I had to do it all over again online. Took me most of that day to get my license. Worth it in the end but would have been nice to know. Thanks. Tom.”
