“The course material was comprehensive and I had no difficulty in passing the test. My comments on improvement are as follows: - I was surprised by the number of spelling errors in the presentations. Most were misspelt words that wouldn't be caught by "spellcheck" such as using "fallow" where "follow" was the intended meaning. This reflects poorly on BOATsmart. - The production value of the animated presentation slides was low, graphics were not engaging and were often repeated. This caused me to "tune out" often and not pay attention. Perhaps attempting to integrate some slides with live action video or even increasing the still slides with summary information to simply read would be far more engaging.”

“The quiz at the end of each module should allow the student to see which questions they answered erroneously, after all this is the study segment. You can't correct/review what you don't know that you erred on.”

“Good course, it covers all the basis (be patient) I learned a lot through out the modules I liked; how the modules can be done at own personal pace and always can go back to review keep up the good work, thank you”

Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback Bill! We understand the test can take awhile for some students, but the time requirements and quizzes are required by Transport Canada (or NASBLA) to ensure all students are able to fully understand all content. The timed requirements are the same across all course providers, and we find many students prefer the convenience of completing the course from the comfort of home, rather than in a classroom setting. Thanks for sticking with it, and safe boating!

“People should be able to go directly to the exam. Some already have the book and have studied and shouldn't have to review the whole thing if they think they are ready for the exam.”

“It was a very long,time consuming course!Very thorough & tough exam. Ifeel that the (PWC) section should be an add on to this exam for those who want to operate a (PWC) . I also think there are a lot of retirees like myself, that will never drive a (PWC) & will never be using my boat on seas or oceans! This course is too large, with too much info for a retired person who only wants to operate a power boat on local inland lakes & rivers! There should be a exam for this type of pleasure craft use that would exclude the operator from operating their pleasure craft on oceans & seas, & exclude them from operating a (PWC). This would make for a very sensible,more compact course for a very large number of people, like myself. It is nice to be able to do the course online. Regards Daniel McIntyre”

“The material covered everything in the exam but it seemed pretty basic. There was a lot of common sense stuff that while is a good reminder seemed excessive and I, personally, would have liked to have some more in depth coverage of boating laws and navigation.”

Thanks for the feedback Jordan! We're always looking for ways to improve the course and will definitely take this into consideration.

“A very comprehensive course. The toughest part was in understanding what the various buoys meant and it appeared as if some of these were not covered in the modules and I ended up guessing. It certainly gave me a lot of insight though, as I haven't owned a boat for several years. I completely understand the need for this type of course in the interest of public safety on the water.”

“The book & course are fairly easy. BUT the exam questions are twisted, confusing & not user friendly & don't always reflect the contents of the book. EXAMPLE: One shouldn't have to search 4 different sections of the book to find the answers on Fire Extinguishers.”
