We have a sailboat, and most of the course dealt with power boats, probably because most people taking the course own those sorts of boats. The information WAS valuable and presented clearly. I wish that the correct answers to missed quiz questions could be provided, and the times one had to spend on each section before one could move to the next meant that completion of the modules took longer than necessary if one already had a good deal of knowledge.

Long and boring. You repeated a lot of information on the quiz. It would be nice to know what I got wrong for future reference and knowledge. I thought I was finished then all of a sudden you give me another test. OMG! I did learn about the different bouyes and signal devices, some of which I had never seen before.

I have been boating all my life and needed the certification for a boat rental. I found it interesting and to the point.

Quick and easy to follow. This made the Transport Canada exam a breeze to complete.

Loved the audio and videos. Only downside is that if I read the page entirely, I still had to wait for the timer on that lesson to finish. But overall very good to learn this way on-line.

I didn't like how the slides were timed. I watched the videos just because it would take the mandatory time. I could have gotten through I way faster if I had just read the slide and then moved on emediatly after.

at first it seemed very repetitive, but as It went on I realized I didn't know as much as I thought I knew. The information gained was enlightening.

It was a great experience knowing about the water world. The rules and regulations about boating and the most important, the safety of all of us. I encourage you all out there to take this opportunity of doing this test to be safe and enjoy the boating as well as the water world life.

I think this a very good course BUT the reason I did not give it a great overall mark was......1) I think that you should insist that everyone gets the book. That is the ONLY way that people are going to review the information and go over it with other people. I will review my book 3 or 4 times a year. 2) I made 7 mistakes on the final. If you do not tell me about my mistakes then how am I supposed to learn. For all I know my answer on the buoy question was right and I go out and make a huge mistake on the water. 3) I know that you are worried about people cheating BUT it is still very important that they are given the correct information. You need feed back from your tests. Take care and good luck.......Ron Wilkinson ps........Our book will always remain on our coffee table at the lake for all to read including our grandchildren.

The course is well laid out, easy to understand and follow. The exam more than covers the information required by the exam. Passed exam on first try with a high mark

The overall course takes a lot longer than expected. I had to spread it out over a few days in order to stay interested. In the end I scored 96% and received my license, so mission accomplished.

Hi Derek - thanks for taking time to leave a review. Good news - we do have a BOATsmart! reference book (study guide) that contains all the material that is contained in the course! It is available to purchase during registration, online at boatsmartmarine.com, and available at most Canadian Tire stores.

Excellent program. The only problem I had was after completing a module And selecting quiz I accidentally hit something to score the test which I had not started so it scored me a zero and made we start the entire module over. Instead of resuming the quiz?? It just took me longer to do that one module. Not a big deal. The material was very useful!!

Since I did it in french, some picture did not show the french words or the picture was not available for clicking (ex: module 6, page 11). In general, some picture were to small to see the details.
