California renews popular online boating class

The California Department of Boating and Waterways recently announced it has renewed its approval of PWCsafetyschool.com as an approved boating safety course for California. The free online course is now in its seventh year and is approved in 23 states.
To receive the approval, courses must meet a set of detailed national standards established by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators, as well as the California standards established by the California Department of Boating and Waterways.
Dealers can direct watercraft buyers to the free course at www.PWCsafetyschool.com. What makes the course unique for the market is that it is focused not on general boating, but specifically on the PWC user.
Those who take the course in one of the 23 approved states and pass the exam meet both state and national requirements. For seven years, the course has been supported by Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A.
