Never to old to learn

Being 52 years old I was not required to have the course but figured it won't hurt to freshen up on some materials.
The course has a lot of information to take in, some not pertaining to our body of waters here in Minnesota but was still nice to know. It was easy to follow along, if I needed a break I could come back at a later time. The only problem I had was in would stop in the middle of a chapter, so I had to go back and refresh it by pushing play again.
Other then that it was easy to use.

Lack of racial representation in training

I was struck how people of color are not represented in the training. I live in Minnesota and know it is a goal of the state to have outdoor recreation opportunities enjoyed by all who live in the state. It is difficult to do that when watercraft safety training only represents one racial group (two, if blue hair people are considered their own racial group!). This needs to be address so most people who take the training see themselves represented in the training materials.

Also, I don't know if it was just my screen, but the initial pricing shown included being sent two certificate cards for an upcharge of about $10. It was only after some clicking that I discovered being sent one certificate card was included in the price of course with no upcharge. If it is not the case already, the default payment screen should start with the one certificate card option.

Lots of good boating information

The videos and pictures were very helpful and kept it interesting. The after chapter questions were a good indicator of understanding.

Suggestion: I would benefit from knowing the answers of the questions that I got wrong.

The course has lots of detail but the quizzes properly cover the high level information and the most important aspects of safe boating. All in all, a first rate online course: excellent pacing, clear and understandable, easy opportunities to review or slow down.
