Très bonne formation, mais il serait bien de remettre le format PDF du cours pour révision continue après l'obtention du permis.

Extremely long and drawn out videos. Many point valueable and necessary---some things redundant and unnecessary (I.e how to clean a life jacket) Also it would be helpful to give people the idea of how long the entire process will take ahead of time. A long time ago these boat tests could be done in one sitting.

Hi Amber - thanks for taking the time to provide a review. We take your feedback seriously and are constantly reviewing the course to make sure our content is up-to-date and designed for our student’s needs. There’s a lot to know about safe boating and the rules and regulations change all the time, so we appreciate you looking out for us and providing your feedback! We understand that you may find the 3-hour course lengthy in duration. However, please understand that the course content and 3-hour timers are a Transport Canada & NASBLA requirement and are consistent across all course providers. This is to allow you the convenience of taking the course from the comfort of home. The timer ensures that you get all of the information you need to successfully pass the Test, without having to sit through an 8-hour, classroom course.

It wasn't clear that you are required to spend 3 hours online in order to do the final exam. I read the whole booklet and completed the tests and practice exam, only to have to redo the entire course online to write the final test. I think you should indicate in large print that the 3 hours online is mandatory and the workbook is simply for additional study and reference.

I found this to be a very informative course and I learned a lot. I have recommended it to all my friends that are looking to get their pleasure craft license

It was good for the theory side of things, but Not so much in the actually driving of a boat.

Fast and easy, got my official card in about a week, just before going on a houseboat trip. Only thing I would suggest is that we would be able to see our incorrect answers after taking the exam. I got 94 percent but it would still be good to know what you had wrong, if you don't know you were wrong, you might keep making the same incorrect decision when boating.

its a good course but getting kicked back to the beginning of the module and having it timed again gets to be too much

The Boatsmart Online course only works for one individual at a time. There is no option for people with different passwords to take the test after watching the videos. This is not disclosed up front. When BOATsmart sells "family/friend" passes, it does not disclose that those family/friends cannot watch the instructional videos together, but must do so separately. This is a waste of time. Please disclose this up front, otherwise you will have frustrated customers who paid money for a group discount, who sit down to take the course together, and then find out the program doesn't work that way. It is only user friendly for one user at a time.

Hi Jeremy - thanks for the feedback. The instructions detail the next steps in the process for family members, but we'll try and do a better job of highlighting that for customers such as yourself. Each person is required to complete their own modules and pass their own quizzes before accessing their own exam - to prove their own competency and receive their own PCOC.

Very in depth modules that covered all facets of boating safety and courtesy. I thoroughly recommend the course to anyone looking to enjoy power boating or sailing.
