Requirements
You can obtain your Canadian Coast
Guard approved Boat Operator Card, by passing a Canadian
Coast Guard approved test. You can challenge the test,
study an approved book and write the test, or take
an approved course and write the test. Of course you
will need to pass the test with a score of at least
75%. There are age appropriate tests for those under
16.
The Professional Association
of Boating Instructors has an approved book and the
approved tests, which are available at one of our many locations.
There is no grandfather
arrangement, regardless of your age and previous boat
experience made for the Boat Operator Card.
Once you pass the test,
you will receive a permanent Boat Operator Card that
is valid for your lifetime, and is good anywhere in
Canada.
The following is a brief
exerpt from PABI’s manual giving you the time frame
of when you will need to have your card. Remember that
you can obtain your card before the compulsory time
frames, and the card does not expire.
