NO. The certificate that everyone refers to is a "Certificate of Boating Safety Education." This "Certificate" indicates that you have ..."Sucessfully completed an approved boating safety education course with a Proctored exam". It is NOT a License.

The plastic card you get does NOT have a serial number or license number on it. It can no more be revoked or suspended than your High School Diploma. You took the course and passed the final exam. You're a Graduate. That's it.

HOWEVER: You MUST have taken the course and passed the exam in order to go boating with a powered vessel over the prescribed horsepower.

"PRIVILEGE"...is something else. NB
