Thanks for the update. I didn't know that.

Took the course years ago.

Sorta makes this a waste other than for purely educational purposes.
 
If you took it years ago, it may still be valid, but it can't hurt to review the online course as a refresher.

It sounds like the above is referring to PWC and not boats. Here in PA, anyone operating a PWC must have taken PA's courses.
