"3-4 hours, LIES!"

Editing to add - beware of international transaction fees with your bank account! I was not expecting that especially given I was taking a NJ boater course and nowhere does it say this is not a US based company.



I cannot recommend this obnoxious class to anyone!
They claim 3-4 hours to complete. This took me closer to 7 hours as i was doing it non stop as fast as it allows. So it is physically impossible for 3-4 hours.
You can’t speed it up.
All Videos end and there is anywhere from 1 to 3 min before the timer runs out and have to wait to move forward this itself added 2+ hours of wasted time!
What a lie! Maybe 3hours worth videos plus waiting time then testing time. So 7 hours. Advertise it properly. There are other courses and maybe there more honest with the time.
All sections have an annoying usless introduction videos to the course. Just start why add this to waste time.
Then all chapters have 2 “review” sections and 1 summary. WHY IS THAT NECESSARY 3 sections to close out a single chapter? Just adding time for nothing.
The people talking repeat themselves so much i wanted to hit my head against the wall. WE GET IT. MOVE ON!! They even had to change from a male to female at section 7, His voice probably got tired of repeating himself.
This course is a joke

"No customer service"

The boater card I received had my name spelled wrong.
Tried emailing both of their email addresses listed. Both are bounced back saying undeliverable.
Tried calling both the numbers listed on their website. Waited 18+ minutes multiple times only to have the call ended in their end.

"Never received my perm card"

Never received my perm card. Dont use this

"My husband did not receive his…"

My husband did not receive his certification and it's been over a year. I sent them an email and they said we should get it in the next few weeks. Still nothing. I tried to reply on the email to let them know and I was blocked!! I would like our money back.

"Accredited 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

"Site stopped working"

Site stopped working, took me to some stupid interactive course, wouldn't let me take it normal DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THE FAST PASS ITS A SCAM!!!!

"I tried completing the boating…"

I tried completing the boating education course but once i got to the final video, it would not let me move on to the chapter 9 quiz or the final exam. On the page, the time or next button doesn't show at all. I spent 5 hours straight trying to finish it to end up not getting my certificate or my refund, waist of time and money.

"Passed, paid, but no card."

Never received my permanent card. Email address for help comes back undeliverable. PA Fish and Boat says call the examiner. No one answers. I just want the card I should get for paying and passing the course.

"I took my boaters license in June 2023"

I took my boaters license in June 2023, passed the test but still have not received my boating license and thr summer is almost over.

"Ive paid for this course three times…"

Ive paid for this course three times now they keep glitching me out and telling me my time has expired to complete the course, pay again
