Good coverage of requisite material but it got a little dry in places. It would be good to have multiple presenters. Also, please review the visual material and make it a little more inclusive ... authority figures either law enforcement officers or those helming the watercraft are typically shown as white males. Also, although it's likely not covered by Transport Canada, would you consider adding a safe boating tip recommending flotation devices for any dogs taken on board? I can speak from experience that pulling Fido back in from the water is much easier if Fido is wearing a life jacket with a handle on its back. Most dogs can swim but they can get tired too.

Easy, straightforward course! Was well-prepared for the exam. Some of the lessons had mandatory times much longer than needed to read and understand the content but overall, well-structured.

Learned some things I didn't know previously. Much content relevant only to sizes or types of boats I will never own...have you considered logic that branches to show only what applies to the boat i own? I know that would make the whole process more complex but it might help people remember the things that pertain to their own boat better

The modules had some non boat related info and the audio was painfully monotoned. But it did supply loads of info on everything very pleased with boatsmart.

The course is easy to use and very informative. It would be nice to be able to see what questions were wrong during the unit quizzes as a learning aid.

Very helpful course material, it made the final exam quite a breeze. Only issue I have is the ridiculously long minimum timers for each slide. Sometime I would watch the video and have to wait 10+ seconds to advance to further slides, which is annoying. Especially since you could just read the text version is less than half the time of watching the videos. Overall I'm happy I chose BOATsmart, and will recommend to friends :)

It was great to have the videos... I tried reading the book way back when and was just not able to get past the first module and feel like I understood the content. But the visuals helped tremendously. Some of the questions in the final exam don't necessarily use the same terminology in the course so threw me for a loop a few times (got 98% average on sample quizzes and only 88% on test)... some questions I didn't even know where to find in my notes as note the same terminology. Also, a couple times the video would be done but I would have to stay in the loop for another few seconds before being able to pass to the next lesson (but I'm talking seconds so not a big deal) but if looking for more fluidity... But all in all it was great and so glad I took the time to do it! Definitely better than trying to read the book! Thank you!

this was a great way to learn at your leisure, as my account has been active for several years before I completed the full course! Never lost any info, and logging in has always been reliable.

I think all the information is good, that being said it's too much info to sit down and do with out an instructor. The modules are too long. In today's elearning modules shouldn't be longer than 15 minutes or you lose people.

It was very easy to follow and user friendly. The course it self is just really long.

The information was good but the course takes along time. Even if you already know a section or have finished reading you are made to sit and wait for a countdown timer that allows you to proceed to the next page. Frustrating and very slow.

The boat smart modules and quizzes really helped improve my final mark and knowleage of boating safety. But after the module 5 quiz and passing the quiz, the program made me take the whole module again. That was the most frustrating part of the whole thing. Overall I do believe that boat smart did a fantastic job.
