 The course is available for home study by contacting the Game and Fish Department over the phone at 701-328-6300 or via email, ndgf.nd.gov. There are two commercial providers who also offer the course online, and links to those sites are on the Boat and Water Safety Education page on the Game and Fish Department website. That's at gf.nd.gov. While the home study course is free, there is a fee to take it online.
