How does Boater101 work?
Boater101 uses a variety of multi-media tools to help you
learn everything you need to know about safe boating practices.
You sign
up, complete the course at your own pace, take the test,
and print your completion certificate upon passing the exam.
How much does Boater101 cost?
Boater101 costs $15 if you choose to complete the course
online. If you take the course in a dealership, it will
cost $25. It's a bit more in a dealership setting because
you'll receive extra materials, like your own Boater101
course manual (which online students can print from home). If you do not pass the Boater101 certification exam and need to take the Boater101 exam more than once, you will be required to pay $15 each time you take the test.
How long does Boater101 take to finish?
The great thing about taking Boater101 online is that you
are allowed to set your own pace. In order to be NASBLA-certified,
Marine University is required to provide you with eight
great hours of boating instruction. But that doesn't mean
you have to do it all at once. In fact, you have up to six
months to complete the course. You can proceed through the
material at your desired speed, save your spot inside the
course, and return as many or as few times as you wish before
taking the exam. Once you begin to take the test, however,
you will be required to complete the entire test in one
session. We recommend that you allow yourself approximately
45 minutes to complete the 75-question test. If you leave
your computer and your internet connection times out, your
test information will not be saved and you will have to
start over in your session.
How will Boater101 help me qualify for an insurance
discount?
The majority of insurance providers do award safe-boater
discounts (typically around 10 percent) to those boaters
who have completed a NASBLA-approved boating safety education
course, such as Boater101 by Marine University. The process
is simple: Successfully complete the course, print out your
certificate, and submit this proof of completion to your
insurance provider. For more specifics, contact your provider
to learn more about available discounts.
Is Boater101 approved for my state?
Boater101 has earned national approval from the National
Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA).
This approval allows graduates to be eligible for insurance
discounts in all 50 states and may also be recognized by
your state as a course meeting mandatory boater education
laws. Simply fill out the (free) registration
page to find out if Boater101 meets your state's individual
boating education laws.
