New Hampshire now permits students 18+ to take an online-only course for the boating certification. Students only get 1 exam attempt in the online course and must score a grade of 80% or higher to pass. Students who are unable to pass the final exam in one attempt must register for an in-person proctored exam, and pay a $10 fee.

If you are 16 or 17 years old, you will need to complete your state's in-person requirements before obtaining your certification.
