I liked the program, but felt it was a little inconsistent at times with regards to which segments had the video and which did not. At least once the video did not cover everything on the written portion of the segment and I very nearly missed out on studying the information not covered in the video. Several times in the segments about rights of way, the coverage was very repetitive, so much so that it almost felt like a glitch or error. Overall well put together, but can use minor improvements. Thank you!

Absolutely great program! I feel quite confident about going out on our Canadian waterways in future. Note I wrote an email late last night (April 8th, 2020) via the 'Contact Us' link on the BOATSmart website regarding what I believe is an error on Module 6 - Lesson 7 regarding Bifurcation Junction Buoys. Not sure if my email was received. Basically the problem is the online lesson states that the Port junction bifurcation buoy indicates that boat operators take the port (left) side channel to get to the safest water. I.e. this means keep the buoy on the Starboard (Right) side of a watercraft when navigating upstream. Whereas the BOATSmart text book (on page #158) and the Canadian Coast Guard website state the opposite. Similar issue for the Starboard Bifurcation Junction Buoy. The video appears to be incorrect on this lesson as well. Hope this helps to correct the issue. Cheers! Mike

The time limits on the pages are way too long for the material that is covered. You can read the material way faster then the time it keeps you on the page.

Hey David - thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We definitely understand that the course timers can be frustrating, but they are mandated by NASBLA and Transport Canada 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!

The course content seems very thorough and logically organized both in the book and online. Duplication of information was logically placed to augment the course content of the specific section/topic.
