BoatUS Foundation’s Online Boating Safety Course
The BoatUS Foundation’s Online Boating Safety Course is the only free course approved by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. Offered through the Foundation’s Online Learning Center, the new course includes videos demonstrating essential safety devices such as visual distress signals, how to prevent and extinguish fires aboard your boat, and the best way to fit a life jacket to a child so they will not slip out. Animations demonstrate important navigation rules, and the course is loaded with photos of real boats and boating equipment from start to finish. This free course is available because of the generous donations of BoatUS members.
