    More Information About Taking Your USCG Certification Exam

    1 DO I NEED TO GO TO A COAST GUARD REGIONAL EXAM CENTER FOR THE CAPTAIN’S EXAM? 

    No, if you use the Mariners Learning System suite of Coast Guard-approved courses, you can take your U.S. Coast Guard Captain's License exam online instead. Upon completion of your course, taking our proctored boating exam, and meeting other requirements, such as documenting your boating experience and passing a physical, you have one year to submit the MLS certificate of completion and your application package by mail to the nearest Coast Guard Regional Exam Center. Upon the Coast Guard's review and approval, you will be issued your boat captain's license.

    2 HOW MUCH DOES A USCG CAPTAIN’S LICENSE COURSE COST?

    The most popular captain's license course we offer is the OUPV/Six-Pack Captain’s License - Online Course and Exam. For those looking to obtain the higher level license, check out the 25/50 or 100-Ton Master Captain’s License - Online Course and Exam. There are two endorsements that can be added to a captain's license. The Assistance Towing Endorsement can be attached to either the OUPV or Master's captain's license. The Auxiliary Sailing Endorsement can only be attached to a Master's license. 

    Mariners Learning System represents a turnkey solution for meeting the USCG's written requirements for obtaining a captain's license. On average, including the cost of our course, once a student meets all other requirements, they say their license costs around $1,000 - $1,400.
