Pass the Boaters Exam & Test

The final Boating Education Course exam is a multiple-choice test.
All boaters must obtain the Connecticut Boaters Certificate by passing the Connecticut boaters exam.
Boating education courses are required in order to take the exam in Connecticut.
If you do not pass the boaters exam, you can try again with us.
Our main goal is to give you the tools and knowledge to always practice safe boating!

Getting a Boat Certificate

Take a 1-day boater class. Passing the exam is all you need to do to earn a Connecticut Boating Certificate.
Keep in mind that the Safe Boating Certificate can also be referred to as Boat Safety Certificate.
In 1996, the Certificate of Personal Watercraft Operation (PWC Boating) was added to the Safe Boating Certificate course.
In October of 2015, Emily’s Law was enacted, requiring that all boaters also obtain a Water Ski Towing Endorsement. It was consequently added to Connecticut’s boat certification program.
Since 2016, the 1-day boater class has consisted of three parts: the SBC, the CPWO, and the SWE materials.
