Recommendation for boating class?

While I’ve spent plenty of time on boats, I’ve never owned a boat and I’m starting to think that I could be in the market in the next 12 months.
I’m interested in taking a beginning boating course and follow up courses that get more advanced.

Anyone have suggestions or recommendations for classes?
Thanks

Look up the US Power Squadron in your area

May be worth looking into. http://www.dnr.sc.gov/education/boated.html I have to get you out on the new boat. I haven’t been flats fishing since the last time we tore them up!

Don’t have a knack for makin motors crank,
But I’m pretty good at drinkin beer.

The best way to a fisherman’s heart is through his fly.
