If you don't happen to live near St. Petersburg, you can use a zip code based Flotilla Finder to find CGAuxiliary Flotillas in your area that also offer these courses as well as Vessel Safety Checks. Most of the flotillas have web sites that provide schedules, but in more uhmmm......technology challenged areas (like Bucksnort AL) you may have to drill up to the Division or District level.
