If you're not going into the business, IMHO you're better off taking the power squadron courses. You'll learn more, since thay are not teaching to the test, its generally cheaper and the times are more convient. Also since you don't have a license you won't be held to the standards of a professional captain should you ever be involved in an accident. (yes the courts do apply a higher standard to licensed captains, even if they are not working, in the case of an accident.
