Education is a cornerstone of USPS and to this end we offer a variety of educational courses:

The America's Boating Course 3rd Edition - This is our introductory boating safety course for the general public. This course is a formal introduction to boating and boating safety and is beneficial to folks planning on buying their first boat, those who already own a boat and would like to feel more comfortable on the water, and even to those "old hands" who have never had formal training in boat handling and boat safety. Students passing this course will be offered a six month free membership into the Knoxville Power squadron.

Any Tennessee resident born after January 1, 1989 must show the TWRA-issued wallet Boating Safety Education Certificate as proof of successful completion of the TWRA Boating Safety exam. This course will prepair you to pass the TWRA exam which will be offered on the last day of the course for those who are interested.
