What's New with Testing & Lost Pleasure Craft Operator Cards:

Transport Canada will be introducing new PCOC Tests this year.  There may be 50 questions, instead of 36.  If you don't skip anything presented here, you will be well prepared! 

Lost your Card?  Transport Canada is just now setting up a central database.  Soon you will be able to find out from them,  (or Service Canada) the name of the agency that issued your Card, and their contact number for obtaining a replacement.

Boating laws have changed too (thus the new curriculum presented here).  It's a good idea to run through our updated course material periodically,  (because receiving an Administrative Monetary Penalty  from an enforcement officer on the water, is not the most economical way to stay informed!)  Please visit Transport Canada, Changes to Boating Laws
.

Printed ring-bound version shown, just $27- full price incl. S&H  (stays open when you need it to).  Keep it onboard for easy future reference (i.e when encountering an unfamiliar seamark!)
Package is just $59 (includes the 2010 manual, taking the test (anytime at our Penetanguishene Headquarters), and your Pleasure Craft Operator Card!  Order by email or call; Dave at (705) 549-6500
