The interactive scenarios are a little cluncky in that the graphics and the direction could be updated a bit. I think if the programs were updated you could do a lot more scenario based training which will help with the learning process by putting the boater in the situation. Other than that aspect, I think this is a terrific product and I am recommending it to everyone who I know looking to get into voting in NH.

I enjoyed the course, and even though some of it did not apply to my pontoon, it was good imformation to have. I liked being able to do pieces at a time and being able to go back if I missed a review question to reread the information. I felt very confident taking our new pontoon out by myself as we are new boat owners. I also got $35 off my boat insurance for taking the course.

Not a course that can be completed in one day. Lots of info to take in. There was repetition but l know repetition is the key to retaining important information. Reminded Dad of things he learned as a Boatswains Mate in the Navy.

The course was set up very user friendly so you can always track your progress and save it without worry of losing any progress. Made it very smooth when obtaining my boating safety certificate!

Overall I was impressed. I often think about many of the things that I learned. I would even be interested in a refresher course that I could direct myself through. I'm not a personal watercraft user and for me there was a little too much information, but now that I am done I am glad for the extra knowledge. I have operated a small boat for many years and now that we have moved up in size and power the information that I have learned has made me a smarter and more confident boater.

My husband and I took this course together. Site was easy to navigate, and courses are applicable to the actual boating experience. I came from a non-boating background as in never even rode on a PWC and was able to follow the instructions and apply it on the water shortly after.

The boat ed course is well developed and written making it easy to understand and complete. I feel that it is pretty comprehensive and covers most of the topics that the average beginning boater should know and understand. The only thing I would add would be a means to review the exam results by the student to understand where they may have come up short and to study the correct response. For me that would be very helpful.

I was pleased

What I enjoyed the most was that I could do it anytime because of my work schedule. I am always busy and do not have enough time to sit in class setting for over 8 hours unless I request the time off in advance. I really enjoyed reading the material.

Boat-ed's course for my California Boaters Card (CBC) was professional, detailed and organized. I couldn't have asked for anything more, the curriculum, the illustrations and animations were excellent and I learned several things I hadn't known before. I've sailed for over 50 years (started age 6), taught sailing and have owned my own sailboats and felt this class was very informative and educational. I highly recommend it - first cabin all the way!

Simple and easy way to achieve a boater's education. If you are in a hurry to get your boater's education, I got mine in a matter of 2 days.

The educational program is very detailed and well illustrated. There were animated parts to test your knowledge at certain points in the program. The added video clips about certain topics was very helpful. I think it was a good idea to have the mini tests after each section. The overall test at the conclusion of the on-line course is very helpful in preparing for the actual examination. I highly recommend the Boat-Ed.com course.

Fine, but now less than a year later my record of completion of the NYS boat Ed course cannot be found in the database. As a result I cannot recover my lost cert. Oh well, pay again... hopefully phone call can resolve

The course was extremely detailed. I had boated prior to taking it. However, I learned so much from taking the course. Since we are new boat owners I found it very helpful. I find myself using the proper terms while on the boat.
