Course Descriptions

The recommended course option is the Basic Course  - a six hour hour course - 99% of the 14,500 people we have certified have chosen the 6 hour basic and all have said they highly recommend this course, but we also offer 2 other course types for those with more experience.

Basic Boating Course

Our most popular course is the Basic course - a six hour session that can be held over two evenings or one day.
bulletThis course is suitable for all ages and levels of experience.
bulletWe cover all the required course material in an easy to understand way and give you examples of real life situations.
bulletThe exam is written in the last hour and we issue a temporary card on the spot.
bulletOur 6 hour course is less cost than many of the other providers offering the PCOC courses.
bulletWe are the only course provider in Manitoba/North Western Ontario that offers the full 6 hour course delivering all of the 149 knowledge and task statements required by Canadian Coast Guard/Transport Canada.

The ** normal fee is $60 per person until August 31, 2008 (Effective September 1, 2008 the fee increases to $70). We suggest that at least one manual per family be purchased at a cost of approximately $10 per manual. The manual can be used as a reference at a later date to refresh your memory.  The fee includes the instruction, the test, and card issue fee for each person.

Refresher Course

The Refresher Course is designed for experienced boaters who have studied on their own. The Refresher Course is 3 hours long. We will review some of the more difficult information like buoys, markers and Right of Way rules.
 
We will NOT cover all of the course material, so we recommend that you study an accredited course manual like our Spark Start Boating manual ahead of time.
 
The exam is written in the last hour and we issue a temporary license on the spot if you pass the exam.
 
The **normal Refresher course fee is $50 for each person until August 31, 2008 (Effective September 1, 2008 the fee increases to $60). The  fee includes the instruction, exam and card issue fee for each person. The Refresher fee does not include the cost of the manual.

Challenge Exam

The Challenge exam is available for those who can not make it to a course or feel confident that they know all of the course material.
The ** normal fee for the challenge is $45 per person until August 31, 2008 (Effective September 1, 2008 the fee increases to $55).
 
bulletWe strongly recommend some study or reading before writing the Challenge exam.
bulletOur manuals are available for sale for approximately $10. See Purchase Manuals for locations to purchase manuals or to find out which ones are appropriate to study from.
bulletYou need 75% correct to pass. The test is 36 questions, multiple choice.

Call us to schedule your Challenge exam date. We can write exams by appointment or often you can join in the last hour of many of our  courses but you must make prior arrangements.
