Boater Education Card On-Line

20 and under and want to drive the jet ski or boat????
This summer new age restrictions and the Boater Education requirement took affect in Washington State. Washington is one of the last states to require this card. You will need this education card to drive a motor boat, unless you have one from another state or Canada. This card will also satisfy the requirement in the other 50 states and Canada waters. If you already took the Coast Guard Auxiliary course and can still find your certificate, that counts too. There are several ways to get educated. Of course I can teach you by talking for 8 long hours or you can go to one of the two FREE sites the state added. I listed them below, if you want to pay for the class room option because you love to sit on hard chairs and watch cheesy power points that option is available too at the State Parks Class Schedule site.

Below are the two sites that do not charge to teach you the boater information needed to pass the exam and the EXAM is FREE. After passing the exam print out two copies of the certificate, keep one and mail the other to State Parks with the application form and $10.

I have the state books that have the study material. Both my boys were able to study the book, do the pretests and go straight to the test receiving a passing score.
