Power Squadron. Boating 3 or equivalent are suggested. The basic use of parallel rulers, course plotter etcetera. The Boating 3 course was excellent. About half of the course (4 evenings plus of minus were devoured to navigation. For me it was a steep learning curve and absolutely nessary as a prerequisite. For someone who has a good understanding of chart work and plotting it's probably okay to enroll. There is nothing that stops you from enrolling as the prerequisites are suggested. However a student in my boating 3 class came to the class without boating 2 and dropped out after two classes because they simply couldn't catch up.
