I passed the USCGA Boater's Safety Course!

[Anngler]

This morning my friend and I both took the USCGA Boater's Safety Course! The class was from 8:30AM to 5PM, at a local firehouse, but we were done by 4PM. The course consisted of 6 chapters and each chapter was about an hour long with a 5-10 minute break in between. You take the test the same day and they grade it right in front of you. If you pass (they've never had anyone fail), you receive your temporary certificate and then I think they send you a permanent one in the mail. I passed with a 97 (2 questions wrong out of 60). The course covered all basic precautions/requirements for the U.S. and the state of New Jersey. The last 10 questions cover New Jersey laws, the rest are national or international. For just $50 dollars, you get the course, the test, hopefully your certificate, lunch, and you never have to take the test again (until the rules change; they always do!)

I would recommend this course to anyone, even if they don't own their own water vessel. The course covers you for all boating requirements, from sportfishing boats to personal water crafts. It was well worth it and it can't hurt to be certified!

Thanks! The course was really very easy, but I've also had some experience on the water; for a total newbie, it still couldn't have been that hard. Most of the basics of boating are common sense, yet how do so many people not get it?...

I'm sure it won't be long until you post that you passed the OPUV License too... Congrats.

If you haven't already, now is a great time to start logging your time on the water
