Participants are expected to put their learning into practice by logging a minimum of 6 steering hours with their home team and passing a written exam prior to registering for Part B.

Part B is a live, on-water skills assessment in which participants will be required to successfully execute a variety of maneuvers with a full dragon boat under speed. This 1-day skills assessment is held at least once a year in various locations. Cost varies by location.

Participants must successfully pass Part A and complete their steering log in order to be eligible to register for Part B.
