Very intuitive course with a lot of knowledge. There were minor spelling mistakes throughout and some words were omitted between the video and the self read theory portions. Overall great course.

Overall the course was interesting and a good challenge as I am a new boater. There are six modules with a brief 10 question test after each one. You must pass each module with a 70% to proceed. Each page in each section is timed so if you are a quick reader you sometimes have to wait to move on. Most pages have videos, which I liked, and there is state specific information as well. The AZ sections unfortunately did not have videos, but they were a fairly short read. No boring monotone audio, which was nice. However, as long as the course was, it would have been nice to hear a different voice. There is also a 65 question final test at the end, which does include many state specific questions. My husband and I completed the course together but got different questions (I liked that). The course took about 5 hrs. to complete. It would have been nice to know that ahead of time. I wasn't able to locate that information prior to starting the course. I attempted to find a local course first, but there were none available. Local courses were about 8 hrs though! I was hoping that would not be the case. The price of the course is not given ahead of time. A single exam costed $29.95 (7/2/17). But I could have paid $26.95 and sent a discount code to my husband and I think he would have paid nothing or $26.95, to be honest it wasn't very clear. Either way, who doesn't like to save money?! I figured it would be around $30, as that seemed to be the going rate. However, had it been say $50 or more, I would have been stuck paying it or forced to find another course and then I would have been very upset after investing all that time. Overall, the course was worth the cost, but I would have liked to pay $26.95 for both my husband and myself (if that was possible) or that cost for each of us, but again that part wasn't very clear. We were able to print temporary cards, which we needed right away. The temporary cards were nicely designed and permanent cards get mailed to you afterward. Hope that helps! Michelle R.N.

It was easy to understand the concepts. One thing I would change is the timer on each lesson since people can read the text very quickly it sucked having to wait another minute when I read it in 15 seconds.

I did appreciate the book, but was frustrated when it came to writing the exam. I had already done all the reading, and the quizzes, then paid to write the exam only to find out after I paid that I had to sit through a computer reading it all to me again. That was a waste of my time. I should have been able to go straight to the exam.

Was very easy to access and sign up. Straightforward website and course overall was very informative. Only thing I did not like was the time limit they made you spend on each section. Was way too long in my opinion. Also, should have been able to access past quizzes before the exam to prepare. Would still recommend BOATsmart to friends and family!!!

Not happy that I wasn't told where I made my errors. After all, this is about boating safety.

The modules are tedious but pretty straightforward. The exam was simple common sense. Took about 4 hrs too complete.

Easy to use and liked it. Test was long for prep and I didn't see what I got wrong in my questions which I would like to know but it was good otherwise

I think it would be helpful to see which answers were wrong in you section tests. How can you improve when you don't know your mistakes. Even if you don't supply the right answer one could go back and review the material. After all, I think smoking while fueling my boat is the right answer, I might be docked right beside you!

Great except for the mandated timers.

It was good. But it would have been better if you could go through it at your own pace. That minimum time is way too long. And when you get to the test there were questions that weren't covered.

Was thorough and prepared jack well for the exam. My only comment for improvement would be that any questions answered wrong on the quizzes should be identified so you can learn in preparation for the test.

Course provided the training and information I needed to pass the final test the first try.

Easy to do. Many of the lessons need to have time adjusted to reflect time needed to do them. Once narration is completed should be allowed to continue. Nice way to take course from home.
