Developed by USPS® to address the special boating education needs of PWC owners and operators.

Jet/SMART™ brings the educational expertise of the United States Power Squadrons to the fastest growing segment of recreational boating.

Jet/SMART™ combines a full-action educational video with an easy-to-read manual to present all the basic information needed for safe, sane and legal PWC operation.

Jet/SMART™ then pulls it all together with a proctored examination that includes state-specific questions as applicable. When USPS® issues its certificate of course completion, state and local agencies can be assured that the PWC operator has learned the important basics.
