Washington Observer Program Training

The WA Study Observer Training Program prepares WA volunteers and others to conduct boating observations as part of an ongoing research study conducted by JSI Research & Training Institute, Inc. The purpose of the training is to show you how to apply your boating knowledge to our research procedures and protocols to get good, consistent data on life jacket wear rates across Washington State. Your participation is essential to the success of this important program! 

"Please be aware that this training is an adapted version of the USCG National Life Jacket Observation Study Training Program and it may contain references to the National Study or Auxiliary Leadership, please disregard these statements as they do not pertain to the WA Observer Program. Quiz results from this specific training program will be distributed directly to the WA Observer by JSI staff."

A key is required to enroll in the training program. 

Good luck! We hope you will enjoy the training program.
