“You should not have to repeat full modules if u do not pass the quizzes, they do not even tell you which questions you got wrong and the correct answer, should be able to review incorrect questions and move on.”

“Lots of content. Learned a lot. Do wish you could determine which questions you missed on the quizzes though.”

“The course itself is very informative. I am disappointed that when completing the quizzes I was not made aware of questions that were answered wrong. I finished the course with some questions, and not as confident as I could have.”

“Overall the course was good, entertaining, and informative. there were several things that i think could have been improved to make the course better and more professional. There were many typo's in the material, the narrator made several mistakes with the printed narrative, and there was zero explanation on the various methods to listen/read each lessen. The end of module test questions were repeated within a ten question quiz, the test questions often focused on numbers that were meaningless to safe boat operation ( what % of people died via this boating accident, why is that relevant), and there was no way to know which test questions you failed, so you couldn't actually learn what mistakes you made. There was a lot of good info and I'm glad I took the course. Thanks. Mark”

“The course covered 85% of what was asked on the exam and provided me with enough instincts to respond well to the rest. The only criticism I have is that the timer restricting you from moving forward was longer than the video or sound recording that you listened to, so you sit there waiting for cometomes a whole minute before being able to move on. This make the process so much longer, and less enjoyable. The timer should not be longer than the sound recording or video. I would argue that there should be no timer at all. I can read so much faster than either so I was always waiting. I got a 90% on the exam, and I felt I did not need the restrictive timer.”

“The material was well presented. My only complaint is that there is no option to proceed directly to the test. Having spent an afternoon pouring over the study guide I did not need to wait through the online course.”

“I had fun and learned very cool facts, but I would have liked to know WHERE I made mistakes, both during the lessons and at the test... Funny animation though😉”

“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?”

“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.”

“It’s annoying when it came down to the timer needed to wait to go onto the next page especially if you’re advanced but the content is great quality and easy to use.”

“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.”

“This was a good test but a little repetitive towards the last 2 modules and took a long time. Final test was a breeze though. Went by really fast with just 50 questions. Most of which were common sense or an obvious answer. I took a lot of notes that I didn’t really need for final but you do need for quizzes. Over all, a good site and easy to follow learning. Price was good and I like that it’s unlimited access Incase I need to refresh myself. I would def recommend!”
