Nah, dont go to a marina for a state course, find a class by the Coast Guard Auxillary (thats what I did, Im 13!!!! Learn so much more! It's way more in-depth and you are recognized in all states for it. If you're from Massachusetts, try "Assabet After Dark" If you're not from around here, then you have no idea what Assabet is so NVM. I think the Coast guard Aux. has a website with a schedule. It'll pay off when (no wait, if, a big IF) your boat up in flames and sinking at your dock.
Good luck and happy boating!
