NASBLA = National Association of State Boating Law Administrators
The NH boater Education Certificate is (and I thought always has been) NASBLA recognized and approved. You can double check on NASBLA approval on the NH Boater Ed page
BoatEd NH .
What did change a few years ago is that NH does NOT recognize some NASBLA approved course certificates. Most notably the BoatUS Foundation on-line course (also not accepted in CT or NY). Here is the NASBLA site which shows what courses are accepted and any state restrictions
NASBLA course listings .
If in doubt about your certificate, call and ask the appropriate authorities (Marine Patrol here on Winnie). Be sure to TAKE NAMES.
The NH BoatEd course certificate is NASBLA approved and accepted in other states.
Safe boating to all..
