With all due respect, the determination of what type of certificate "Meets or Exceeds" NH requirements is made by the State of New Hampshire, not individuals.
In any event, NH recognizes NASBLA certificates from other states.
From the NH Boating Guide
A Safe Boater Education Certificate
may be obtained by persons 16 years of
age or older only and must be carried on board.
New Hampshire accepts the following boating education certificates:
A boating certificate issued by another State agency and NASBLA
approved.
A boating certificate issued by the US Power Squadron.
A boating certificate issued by the US Coast Guard Auxiliary.
An unexpired commercial boating license issued by the US Coast Guard.
An unexpired commercial boating license issued by the State of New
Hampshire.
If you wish to operate a motorboat on New Hampshire waters and
you do not have any of the above certificates, please visit our website
