“I like the youtube aspect although it could provide more graphics as the ones privided were minimal. I like that I was able to take it online as it was quick and fairly easy.”

“I learned lots of information. However, most of it does not relate to just having a boat on the lake. I feel that I just needed a course on recreational boating. I thought this online course was way too long.”

“Easy to pass but knowing what I got wrong at the end of exam would make me a safer boater. If I don't know what I need to correct, my learning is incomplete.”

“The content was fine, but the way it was presented over and over and over started to get hard to keep focused. Seemed like it wasted a lot of my time. I would have rather read at my own pace instead of being forced to sit thru a timed slide.”

“The way everything is worded on the boatsmart prepay information is misleading. I purchased the prepay card and on it it says "Take your BOATsmart! test online! Purchase a Pre-Paid Online Test Card" No where does it say that there is a mandatory 3 hour course as well. I had previously studied the book and was prepared to take the exam when I found out that I had wasted my time on the book since the mandatory course was essentially reading the book again module for module. Had I know this was the case I would have done things differently. It is very misleading to sell a prepaid card that does not have accurate information on it. I could have saved a lot of time had it been clearly set out and may have chosen to write the test a different way had I known. Since the pleasure craft operator card is necessary and you are the people who provide it the least you can do is make sure people are informed clearly of how it works. You should also inform the staff at Canadian Tire where these are sold so they could also inform their customers.”

“As a weekend boater on a small land locked lake (5km long x 1/2 km wide) I thought there was a lot of information that I did not need or will never use. Maybe there should be two different test/licenses. It would also be nice to know what answers you got wrong so you can learn from your mistakes. Thanks”

“I feel it's cheap to acquire this license and lasts for life which is great! I think though a "on the lake" practical course should be a requirement but at a reasonable price to have someone train you say about 3-4 hrs for windy weather, docking, wrenching boatvto trailer etc. But good information theory wis, thx 🙂”

“If you made the animatjons more fun and add a better speaker someone that doesn't put you to sleep would be great. It took me 8 hours to get to the test as i kept falling asleep and rereading things.”

“It was long, and frustrating. Software easy to use. However, time count down was frustrating as reading is always faster than time allotted for each section.”

“I felt as though the online course does provide a basic introduction to boating, but I cannot understand how the government thinks it provides a value to those just learning to boat, and may have never boated before. The only way to actually learn is to actually be in a boat, driving, learning the buoys, and being on the waterways. The government has THREE separate stages for beginner learners when driving a car, yet has only one online course for learning to drive a boat? Not to mention the time allocated to completing the quizzes at the end of every module is absolutely absurd! If you actually want people to learn, you have to make the time shorter so that they have to study more... 3 hours is ridonkulous!!!!”

“The repetition of important subjects is good , but if I did not have a set of ear phones I would most likely would not have passed. Distraction while doing this sort makes studying difficult for me , always has been. The faded print of the detailed subject matter was also difficult to read , it should be as dark as the headings. I also thought it should be mentioned that there would be a final test on all subjects ( it may in fact may have been stated and I missed it ). Also, I think it to be important that at some point all the questions missed should be displayed with the correct answers ; not just the final test but all the other tests too. The ratings above show average only because I have nothing I have ever done via Internet to measure against.”
