A decade from now when something happens people won't remember that class. 10% will be dead. 10% won't have a boat anymore because of the divorce and 10% will have boats in the shop that don't run.
I don't recall reading a single news story that said a person was worse off because a bunch of uncertified people showed up to help them.

For once i can agree with you Duckman.
So now with the state budget in shambles, The taxpayers will start footing the bill for on going training for people that want to help out in a disaster.
The alternative is spend a bunch of money for some one time classes and hand everyone a piece of paper that says certified. That actually sounds more like what the government would do. Meanwhile some state legislator will stand proudly running off at the mouth about some bill he created to fund all this.
