I liked the professional but easy-going manner in which the material was presented. I especially liked the class participation in the readings, as well as the questions after each section which helped to retain the information from each section. Now I need instruction in how to actually sail my 1980 Pearson 26 weekender-just a slight upgrade from my kayak!!! Thank …

A great course. A lot of crucial information was well presented by a knowledgeable and engaging teacher. I have been on and around boats my entire life and I found the course informative and useful. My girlfriend, who had very little boating experience walking in, left with a competent understanding of the rules of the water and basic boater safety. …

The instructor did a great job keeping everyone engaged, even in the online format. “The Helm” has good resources.

Cannot believe how much fun I had. I’m not one to be excited for instructional courses like this but I knew almost immediately it was going to be great. Our teacher was super funny, very informative, keeps it interesting, & above all, helps you understand the information in a way that sticks. I’d recommend this to absolutely everyone who’s looking …

The course was extremely educational and covered more topics than I could have imagined to prepare first time boat operators for the water. Our teacher did a tremendous job presenting the materials with a perfect balance of “book” topics and real life scenarios from his 40+ years of boating in addition to adding a touch of humor. I would highly …

I genuinely enjoyed it. Teacher was fantastic and engaging, and I like that he kept us reading so we were involved. I’m a veteran teacher and found the presentation to be appropriately paced and the reminders to be very helpful. He gave us the information we needed, but also additional items that weren’t on the test which gave me confidence …

The instructor (Glenn Dean) presented course information in a clear, concise and engaging manner. The information that is presented certainly prepares participants for the Connecticut Boating Certificate exam. In addition, as Mr. Dean is thoroughly up to date on the latest boating regulations, even an old salt can learn something new in this course that can increase one’s ability to …

Excellent instructor! Really enjoyed the course and psyched to hit the water, SAFELY.

Easy and fun to learn about some interesting things when boating.
