To ensure we meet the required six hours of classroom time, the classroom instructions will start promptly at 9:30 AM. Please remember to bring your own lunch, as we will conduct a "Learning Lunch" session, eating during one of the presentations. To receive your certification card, you must pass the final exam with a score of 70% or better, and you will be allowed to re-test if you do not pass on your first attempt. The necessary textbook and study guide will be provided to you upon registration, and successful completion of this course satisfies the State of Ohio's mandatory boating education law. This class is free and open to the public. Students will receive temporary tag upon successful completion of the class and a plastic ID card in the mail a few weeks after completion.
