It explains two main paths: complete the ASA 105 course and take the exam via another ASA school beforehand, or use self-study to learn the required ASA 105 material and schedule the exam near the start of BOSS 106. The instructions list study resources including an ASA online kit, free training videos, Starpath manuals and charts, NOAA PDF chart versions, and practice exams, plus general exam-taking guidance and contact information.","Learning ASA 105 material before taking your BOSS 106 course  \nASA 105 Coastal Navigation is a prerequisite for ASA 106 Advanced Cruising. You can meet this requirement by passing the 105 exam before coming to SVG, or you can write the 105 exam as part of your BOSS 106 course. However, there is not time in the 106 course to teach all of the 105 material, so you need to learn it ahead of time.  \nTo meet the 105 requirement in advance of your BOSS 106 course, you therefore have two main options.  \n1. You may complete the ASA 105 course and write the exam with another ASA school before your BOSS 106 course. If you search online you will find a number of alternatives. Prices vary significantly.  \n2. Alternatively, there are various economical self-study options that can enable you to learn the ASA 105 material, and write the exam near the beginning of your BOSS 106 course. Self-study options include:  \n• The ASA Online Store ([https://store.asa.com/asa-texts-and-reference-1.html](https://store.asa.com/asa-texts-and-reference-1.html)) offers a Coastal Navigation kit that includes a text, solutions workbook, presentations, and training chart  \n• There is a full set of ASA 105 training videos available on youTube for free at: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?)  \nv=dElDD3HCwok&list=PL_KEvUapVVnk6WBQSmzyHT674pFufoEmg  \n• Starpath sells an inexpensive training manual based on 1210TR: [https://](https://)[ ](https://)[www.starpath.com/catalog/books/1979.htm](www.starpath.com/catalog/books/1979.htm. Starpath)[. Starpath](www.starpath.com/catalog/books/1979.htm. Starpath) also provides several ways to get the related 1210TR training chart, including free PDF and BSB downloads, at [https://www.starpath.com/1210tr](https://www.starpath.com/1210tr)  \n• Free PDF versions of training charts are available from NOAA at: [https://](https://)[ ](https://)[historicalcharts.noaa.gov/historicals/search_attributes?type=Nautical%20Chart--](historicalcharts.noaa.gov/historicals/search_attributes?type=Nautical%20Chart--)Training  \nYou can download a 42 mb version of the MARTHA’S VINEYARD TO BLOCK ISLAND-SYMBOLS AND ABBREVIATIONS, Chart 1210TR which is the one used for the 105 exam and many of the courses. You could take the resulting file to a print shop and print it out at chart size. Alternatively, there are various online resources, including Starpath as noted above, that sell a full size paper version for \u003C=$10.
