How can I obtain my boating safety certification?

Obtaining Boating Safety Certification

The first step in boating safety is passing a boating safety test and receiving a boating safety certification. Potential boaters can obtain a boating safety certification on-line through a boating safety course that is sanctioned by individual states. Official boating education courses offer boaters access to a boating safety manual that is developed according to individual state's specifications. A boating certification card will be issued to anyone that passes the official boating safety exam.

Manuals can typically be downloaded from the Internet.
Boaters can choose to take the exam in the comfort of their own home for a fee.
Some courses offer home study VHS and DVD education videos.
Potential boaters can also find out information about boating safety courses in their area.
