I took the course 2 Sunday's ago in East Meadow. Alan was great and he held the course even though there were just 4 of us. He is a dedicated instructor and even though I have years of experience boating, I learned a number of new things which I will be able to utilize moving forward. I highly recommend the in person course if you truly want to get something out of it beyond just getting a certificate.
