This course covers the requirements for Tennessee Boater Safety Education for those born after January 1, 1989 and will include the required exam for this state certification the day of the class. If you were born after January 1, 1989, this new law applies to you, and you will need to pre-purchase an exam ticket at any TWRA agent for $10 to take this state exam for your license.
