JEFFERSON CITY, TENNESSEE – The U. S. Coast Guard Auxiliary will present the
BOAT AMERICA recreational boating safety course on Saturday, September 6th,
at Carson-Newman University, 1645 Russell Avenue, Jefferson City, TN, 37760.
Taught by experienced, certified Coast Guard Auxiliarists, you will learn
how to prepare, operate, and navigate your boat safely on local waters. Questions are strongly encouraged during
class. The instructors will be available after class to answer any additional
boating questions. Our goal is to
help make boating as safe as possible for you, your family, and your friends
through education and awareness.
Attendees
born on or after January 1, 1989, who pass the exam will receive a completion
card that meets the Tennessee Boater Education Certificate
requirements.
Those needing the
Tennessee Boater Education Certificate must first obtain a TWRA Boating Safety
Exam Permit, which costs $10.00, and pay it separately to the issuing vendor,
such as Walmart or Academy Sports. This TWRA registration must be brought to class.
The course fee is $25, in addition to the TWRA permit fee, and must be paid by
cash or check on the day of the class before it starts.
The registration deadline for the class is September 3rd. To register for the class or for more details,
