Phantom,
New Hampshire recognizes the state approved NASBLA course and the courses offered by the USCG/Auxiliary and US Power Sqaudron.
Those courses offered by Boatwise, Boat US, etc., though they may be good, are not NH state approved. Proctored testing is part of the USPS and USCG courses and should be the way that NH tests. There is too much that is not retained by those who skim through the on-line course just to be in compliance by having their certificate.
Throw out all that other crap in their about orange lights, swimming with observers, etc, and now you have a HB that makes sense.
