If You Were Not Automatically Awarded a Certificate:

Some states will not allow us to award a certificate of completion to some students because of state regulations. Be sure to read the full course description to see if your state approves our course. In some states that require only younger boaters to take a course, boaters older than the mandated age may be awarded a generic boating safety certificate that will suffice for insurance discounts and many prerequisites to more advanced boating courses.
