According to the law, boating safety education from other states must "meet or exceed" the NH requirements. Since NH requires a proctored test, boating safety education from other states would also have to include a proctored test.

However, several years ago the Marine Patrol stated that their officers couldn't be expected to sort out the details of the requirements of 50 different states and that they would accept all NASBLA approved course certificates. As far as I know that is still their policy.
