Some Qs and As about our prices

Does it really cost only $29.95 for the official course, the official exam, plus my first official Pleasure Craft Operator Card (PCOC) from freecourse.ca?

Yes.


No hidden fees? Of any kind?

None. The $29.95 fee includes:

  • The official Transport Canada-accredited PCOC course;
  • The official Transport Canada PCOC exam;
  • Your temporary PCOC; and
  • Your permanent PCOC.

And the card is official? Right? It’s real?

Yes. The PCOC you will receive is the official PVC plastic card. Under the Competency of Operators of Pleasure Craft Regulations, freecourse.ca is authorized by the Government of Canada to provide the official online PCOC course and the official online PCOC exam, as well as to issue official Pleasure Craft Operator Cards to the public. To verify our accreditation, please click here.


But is your PCOC course just as good as the ones that cost $59.95?

Yes. Transport Canada-accredited PCOC courses are all written to comply with the same Transport Canada course standard. As a result, the content of the various accredited PCOC courses is the same.


Then why are your prices so low compared to others?

Some course providers have very high profit margins as well as very high overhead costs (for instance, many spend heavily to advertise in traditional media, on social media, on online search engines, and in other marketing channels). We, on the other hand, have slim profit margins and lower overhead costs and we pass the savings on to our clients.

Prefer to shop Canadian? Then you might be interested in knowing that the three biggest boater license sellers in Canada (BoaterExam.com, BoatSmart.com, and BoatEd.com) are all owned by Kalkomey Enterprises LLC, of Dallas, Texas, USA. freecourse.ca, on the other hand, is owned by Boating Safety Canada Inc., which in turn is 100% owned and operated by Canadian citizens and is based in Ottawa, Ontario.

Wear It!

Failure to wear a flotation device is the leading contributing factor in boating fatalities. When on the water, the single-most important thing that you can do to prevent drowning is to always wear a properly adjusted PFD or lifejacket of appropriate type, size, and fit.
