This short seminars for operators of both small and large boats. The highly acclaimed Boat Pro Manual has been used as the template by other organizations in their rush to develop course material to meet the Government Regulations for operator competency. It was one of the first to be accredited by the Canadian Coast Guard and contains all of the information needed to achieve operator competency and a Pleasure Craft Operator Card. A leader in its field, the Boat Pro Manual is a great introduction to the boating safety and navigation information available in the Boating Course.
