The first four chapters qualify as a DNR-prescribed boating safety course, and provide the basic instruction needed to successfully complete the DNR exam required to attain a boating safety certificate issued by the DNR*.  These four sessions include the DNR exam on the last night. A fifth chapter provides an introduction to modern navigation, and is intended for home study only.

For additional details on what the book covers, click here.

Children, ages 11-15, can take the course if accompanied by an adult; however, for DNR certification, they must be 12 before taking the exam. 

The 2013 first session starts, Tuesday, April 16th, at 6:00 pm at NWTC. The remaining three sessions start at 6:30 pm
