The Allegan County Sheriff’s Office will offer several Boater Safety Courses this spring and summer throughout Allegan County to help the public be ready for the upcoming boating season. Boater safety classes are taught annually by Marine Deputies allowing students to earn their Boating Safety Certificate.
Upon successful completion of this class, attendees receiving their Boater’s Safety Certificate will be able to operate a motorboat or personal watercraft (PWC) in the State of Michigan.
All classes are free of charge and only requires a little time to complete. Classroom learning has the benefits of live instructor based learning, one-on-one assistance with an instructor and the ability for students to ask questions and seek clarification on various topics and boating laws.
Upon the successful completion of the Boater Safety Course, attendees will receive their Boater Safety Certificate. Courses are open to anyone 12 years of age or older. Those under the age of 12 are required to have a parent or adult with them. All course materials are provided and attendees need only to attend and complete one of these courses to receive their Certificate.
Classes are scheduled for Tuesday, May 1, and Wednesday May 2, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Wayland Union Schools Transportation Building, 851 Wildcat Drive in Wayland. Contact Tammy Kohtz at (269) 792-9153 to register. Registration is required. Participants must attend both classes to complete the course. Bring a #2 pencil. There is a fee of $10 payable to Wayland Schools for use of their facility. Additional information can be found online at www.allegancounty.org/sheriff
