Wednesday, Dec. 15th 2010 6:57 AM

The California Boating Safety Course: Produced and copyrighted by the Department of Boating and Waterways, this correspondence course allows boaters to study at home at their own pace and covers state and federal boating law, rules of the road, boat handling, required equipment, navigational aids, accident reporting, and special topics.

Approved by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators and recognized by the U.S. Coast Guard, this course includes an optional exam with two answer sheets. The exam consists of 50 questions. Once completed, the answer sheet can be forwarded to the department for grading. Those who successfully complete the course are awarded Certificates of Completion which are recognized by many insurance companies for discounts on boat insurance policies.
