Class Fee

The "class fee" for the America's Boating Course covers the price of the answer sheets (bubble sheets), certificates, mailing cost for your certificate, a fee to maintain the computer and projector and numerous supplies for the class.  Classes at the Port Tampa Library and Gator Ford also serve a snack lunch as there is not a close place to obtain lunch. (Textbook fee is additional.)

There is NO cost for the Instructors!  Their preparation time for a class, mileage, supplies and the cost incurred to maintain their certification are paid out of their own pocket.  They teach these classes to promote safe boating.  Be sure to thank them or even consider joining them.  Just ask how at any class.
