It was straightforward and generally easy to navigate. I found there was more time required on the lessons than I needed. I can read faster than the allotted time so I was always waiting to flip to the next lesson.

Hi Catherine - thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We definitely understand that the course timers can be frustrating, but they are mandated by Transport Canada and NASBLA because the testing is online and unsupervised. The course timers are a requirement for all course providers. Glad you stuck with it and safe boating!

Content was good but modules too long. Need to be able to skip through or time less

It was easy to use online and to be able to pause and go back is a bonus. I did find a few errors in some of the modules but it did not affect my study.

Easy and thorough. Although, I purchased the book and studied for hours just to find out I had to go through all the online modules anyways... made for a very long process...

Its a decent course, I feel there was lots of useless information. I feel like there should be a course for pleasure craft or commercial, and there seemed to be many articles of things that will never be of use to me. However, overall it was a decent course and I feel safer in the waters knowing that all boaters must have a license to operate a boat. Thanks

The course itself was great. However, the timer at the bottom of the page is ridiculous. If the whole point of it is to stop people from cheating that doesn't work either because it's an open book test. Everyone reads at different times and when I've read it thrice and still have to wait three minutes it makes me not want to finish at all. The timer at the top of the page also should only run went your doing the course not when your on the page. My laptop ran out of battery and shut down and the next day it said I had spent 19 hours and 56 minutes working on the course.

Course covers everything in detail. I believe that when after completing the final exam there should be option to view your mistakes as you can learn from them. But overall it was a good course.

Course is well laid out. Time required to move to next slide is too long. Users should be able to move on to the next slide at their own pace.

Overall good. One suggestion would be to once you have completed a module, the questions you get wrong, you should be able to see them. So you know where you went wrong.

Ok, so we just paid for two courses over the weekend and I did my course and test. My husband still has to do both. New e-mail today....$15.00 off for each new course....not happy. Other than that, the content was good. That extra money would have paid for the course text that we would like to have, to keep on hand.

I found the course quite concise and encompassing the many areas that new boaters should be aware of. Very informative.

The website is great. The lessons are well explained and the classification into modules makes it easier to approach the test. That's the good part. For the bad part : as many other customers have said about BOATsmart, a LOT of questions asked during the Transport Canada test are not covered in the BOATsmart lessons. Which kind of defeat the purpose of selecting your website. If more and more people keep complaining about the lessons not corresponding to the questions being asked, BOATsmart is going to lose business.
