GBThe boaters course was a lot of fun… The boaters course was a lot of fun while learning a lot of information for the final exam. The course prepares you for the final exam in the best way possible by giving you quick and easy bullet points along with questions that are on the final exam

GBWell worth the price; No one should sail overnight without taking this course Chuck Hawley is a fantastic presenter. He speaks slowly and clearly and is never pedantic, which would be really annoying. His organizational skills and your production quality are top notch. Great information throughout, though I was disappointed with the weather portion...too much emphasis on racing, and alot of impractical information. Who cares that a "fast boat can stay ahead of dipole squall" or what a Hadley Cell is? What we needed was closer up interactive animated weather maps, and more information about getting weather information readily on board. And how about a chapter on plugging hull breaches, checking seacocks, checking wiring? How about good watch and shift-scheduling habits? Finally, I realize you don't want to be mercenary, but you should have a place on your site where you list the gear you talk about and links to the vendors.

CAAccredited but a ripoff with lots of technical issues The exam and course are easy but they make it a hassle to actually get your card so that you'll dole out more money for replacements. They also don't answer the phone or emails. I completed the course a while ago and the exam yesterday, but the issue date is the day I started the course, not the day I wrote the exam, so my temp card is expired and they're not sending me a physical card. So now if I want my card, I have to pay another fee on top of the course fee. Ripoff. Use freecourse .com it's cheaper and a lot more reliable as far as I know

CABoaters Course The course content was very easy to follow, and with video as well as narrative The only criticism I would have, is after each chapter when you take the test, it doesn’t tell you what questions you got wrong. Without this information, you could continue to make the error
