Successfully completing the online boating safety coursework
allows students to obtain the Alabama boating license

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., June 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Alabama is the latest state to
launch the new BoaterExam interactive boater education course as an online
option to obtain the Alabama vessel operator's license. Now, Alabama
residents will have access to an animated and narrated course they can take
online when it's convenient for them. This boating education course is
approved by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators
(NASBLA), recognized by the US Coast Guard and covers 100 percent of the
state's exam requirements.

"We are extremely excited about this new course process," said Kerry Moher,
vice president, BoaterExam.com. "The study guide has more than 150 animations
and practice quizzes that will better prepare students to successfully
complete the final exam."

BoaterExam.com course participants learn about boat classifications, hull
designs, motors, legal requirements for registration and equipment, navigation
rules, basic safety regulations and waterway marking systems all in a
narrative fashion with more than 300 original illustrations and 150 animated
video clips. Each of the course's seven chapters is followed by chapter
summaries and practice quizzes. Students also have access to BoaterExam.com's
industry exclusive toll-free customer service help line (1-866-764-2628) from
8 a.m. to 11 p.m. (central), seven days a week.

All persons 12 years of age and older who operate a motorized vessel on
Alabama waters are required to have their Alabama Vessel License (also
referred to as the Alabama Boat Operator's Certificate or Alabama Boating
License, which appears as a "V" class on your driver's license). The operator
certification must be in possession at the time of operation.

"Online education programs such BoaterExam.com provide an opportunity for
people to be trained and educated in boating safety techniques through an
online study guide that is animated and narrated," said Gail Kulp, Education
Director - National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA).

The BoaterExam.com course and final exam is free: students pay a one-time fee
of $29.95 only when they pass the final exam to obtain their official results.
Once students pass the Boater Exam, a Course Completion Certificate is issued
by the Alabama Marine Police within 1-2 weeks. Students then bring the
resulting Certificate to their local Department of Public Safety, Driver's
License Examiner's Office to have a boating license endorsement ("V" Class)
placed on their driver's license. Passing a boater education course may also
result in a discount for boat or personal watercraft insurance. For complete
