BoatUS Foundation

This BoatUS Foundation boating safety education course meets Oregon state requirements and is provided free of charge to students. The course can be taken at the student’s own pace and provides video demonstrations and sample common boating situations for students to interact with to better understand how to evaluate real-world instances. The learning experience includes storylines where the student “boats” to various places and includes interactive learning tools like flashcards and drag-and-drop features to enhance learning and retention. Course-takers will be able to design and name the virtual boat that takes them through the course and map how far they’ve “traveled” within it. After passing a final exam, the student will be eligible to purchase a Boating Safety Education Card through the Marine Board.
