YOUR PERFECT PREPARATION
Select which recreational boating license you already hold and which one you want to obtain. The app will then compile the relevant sections for you: basic questions, inland waterways, coastal waters, sailing, and navigation.


LEARN, PRACTICE, TEST

Learn: Take your time to review the possible exam questions. Tips and explanations will help you find and understand the correct answer.

Practice: Answer questions yourself, focus on specific question groups, and customize the process to your needs.

Simulate the exam: Complete full sets of questions in the format tailored to your exam and within the allotted time. Afterward, you'll receive an evaluation based on the provided marking scheme.

TAKE A VIEW OF YOUR PROGRESS
The app displays your learning, training, and simulation progress by topic and question set. Highlight difficult questions, review them selectively, and see which topics you still need to review or have already answered correctly multiple times.

The complete catalog includes 528 questions, including 15 navigation exercises, each with nine sub-questions.

The app can be used without a user account. Learning progress, settings, highlights, and exam results are saved locally on your device.
