America's Boating Course is a unique study
program covering the fundamentals of boating.
The course is designed for skippers and crew of
all types of watercraft. The course material
covers seven chapters, which touch on:

The course materials include both an 80 page full color manual and interactive "courseware". The manual is your textbook, and the "courseware" is your virtual instructor. Both cover the same topics but each in its own way. The manual includes extensive diagrams, graphics and boating tips. The courseware is narrated and interactive, making use of animation, video, and sound. Both manual and courseware provide review questions so that you can verify that you truly understand the material. In addition to the lessons, the courseware includes resources, which will come in handy long after you have completed the course; printable forms (checklists, accident reports, float plans, etc.) and links to reference documents such as the Navigation Rules.

Both a manual and a CD-ROM containing the courseware are provided with each purchase, as well as a PIN (Personal Identification Number) that provides you with Internet access to the courseware. Learn the basics of boating at your own pace, at home or away, using either a PC or a Macintosh.

America's Boating Course is recognized by the U.S. Coast Guard and has been approved by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators.

In addition to the course material, a fellow boater in your area from USPS® will contact you with an offer of assistance regarding state regulations, taking a final exam, and answering any other questions you may have. The United States Power Squadrons® is at your disposal.
