The material, quizzes and practice exam were great, no problems there. The main problem is your Tawk/chat widget on your site! I had to cancel out of it every time I returned to the site to continue... See more

The course is good. However, it contains a noticeable amount of spelling mistakes and some of the quiz questions are hard to answer / misleading. For example: "Why is it important to balance the load... See more

Knowledge and Testing

The only 2 things I didn't care for were the time you had to wait for each section to pass to be able to go to the next chapter as well is if you didn't pass a quiz you had to go through the whole chapter again. Otherwise it was very easy to use.

Boat Test

I personally think the test is actual a great tool for new Boaters. The final test questions are kind of misleading on a few. Note: do the practice test, it is very helpful.

Retaking failed sections of the study…

Retaking failed sections of the study text was also subject to timers, so if you spent 40 minutes on a section and then missed the test by one percent you had to repeat the 40 minutes. I wasted 5 hours studying material, most of that was waiting for timers to expire. A really idiotic program.

Wrong Name on Certificate

Getting the certificate with the proper name is tricky and quirky. I completed a log in for my son, he took the course registered in his name but the completed name on the certificate only had my name as the credit card holder. Of course after completion it states the name on the certificate is non-transferable and all the names on the account are correct except the certificate.

The test was thorough and easy to understand. Multiple choice answers are always great but can be tricky! My only suggestion is I wish the time counter in between being able to click through the course pages was shorted. Sometimes it was only a paragraph and a picture and you’d have to sit and wait 3 mins to go to the next page. This could save a ton of time on going through the course itself much quicker to get to the test!
