Boating Safety Training
Online Course Overview

Each time you launch your boat on the water, life and death are in your hands. Every year approximately 525 Canadians lose their lives while having fun on the water. Simple actions, such as wearing an appropriate floatation device, abstaining from drugs and alcohol, and taking time to properly plan out your trip can significantly reduce this number. For most boaters, boating is a pleasurable experience. This Boating Awareness course helps to ensure the safety of yourself, your passengers, and others out on the water.

This online Boating Awareness course is composed of five modules. These modules include:

  • Module 1: Getting to Know Your Boat
  • Module 2: Mandatory Safety Equipment
  • Module 3: Boater Responsibilities
  • Module 4: Operating Your Pleasure Craft
  • Module 5: Emergency Situations

Upon completion, you will be presented with a final exam to test your knowledge.
