How Mariners Helped Me Become a Captain
"Dreams do come true! As a retired 63 year old, I needed something more. Having sailed all my life, I realized there is something I can do that I like. Best my wife and I can share the opportunity together. So we decided that I would try to be a Captain. At first I was timid being online since I have never studied this way. Well, I was wrong. Mariners was at my pace and extremely informative. This is not a quick course and took the dedication to work with it. For the final exam, I was nervous but prepared. Best - I learned it! All test were above my goals and passed on first try. So I have filed with the USCG my paperwork for: 6 Pack, Sailing, Towing and 25/50. Am I proud? YES! Do I recommend the courses? YES!! And I am grateful for the opportunity." - Scott S.
