Education

One of the main goals of USPS is “boating safety through education” • we believe that an educated boater is a safer boater. USPS instructors who teach public courses are certified regarding their ability to teach and use modern instructional methods.

The Norwich Power Squadron's Educational Department offers many boating courses including public boating courses and member-only boating courses. 

Public Boating Courses

The Norwich Power Squadron is a qualified educational center for the State of Connecticut's Boating Course. View all public boating courses offered through the Norwich Power Squadron.

Member-Only Boating Courses

As a member of the United States Power Squadron, members can participate in additional courses to advance your boating skills and knowledge. View a listing of all member-only boating courses offered through the Norwich Power Squadron.

Boating Laws

Each state has its own boating laws and safe boaters follow them. Visit the State Of Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection boating page for all of the information you need from registering your boat, state boating laws, and much more.
