There can't be all that many programs that are NASBLA-certified.

I suspect that such a list would be a great help to their own officers as well as to the boating public!

The real problem here is that a few people have their own agenda. They don't think some out of state NASBLA certificates should be allowed in NH. The way they interpret the law only out of state certificates that involve a proctored exam are allowed.
The problem is the the Marine Patrol interprets the law such that ALL NASBLA certificates are good in NH.
Their real argument is with the Marine Patrol, however instead of fighting the MP's interpretation they come to this forum and brow beat anybody that doesn't go along with their theory.
When asked where their quotes come from they don't answer. Just like NightWing has done in the posts above.
I think they have called the MP and are aware of the truth, but they will not admit it here because they don't like it.
The funny thing is that I agree with them in principal. I think only proctored exams should be allowed anywhere. But that is not what the law says and not what the Marine Patrol says.
