Certification of Program Visitors

PROGRAM VISITOR

A potential Program Visitor must review the RBS Visitation Program Manual for all directions to the PV program. A trainee must then complete the Recreational Boating Safety Program Visitor Exam (MDV) online at the National Testing Center.

The trainee's final test is to conduct two program visits under the supervision of a certified PV. The two visits must be reported on form ANSC 7046.

MAINTAINING CERTIFICATION

To keep an active certification as a PV, you must conduct at least four visits per year. Failure to do four program visits means you must conduct two supervised visits in a year or certification will lapse after five years. A PV must also review the annual workshop, now available for 2023 (and as a PDF).

OTHER RESOURCES FOR VISITORS

PVs can use this helpful brochure to guide their discussions during program visits. Potential Program Visitation staff officers at the flotilla, division and district levels can take advantage of these informative job descriptions. The 2022 annual RBS Visitation Program Summary is also now available.
