USCG Captain License

I am interested in getting an official USCG Captain's license, and was hopeing some of the commercial or charter folks here might steer me in the right direction. Are there standard courses I need to take? Where can I find info on this? Etc.

Your help is greatly appreciated my friends.

I took a class through SeaSchool this winter. Their website is www.seaschool.com The class was two weekends and the five weeknights in-between. You then had a week to study before the exam. They offer courses all over the palce at different times of the year.

Did my 100GT via Boatwise, great organization; Used Mark Grosetti as well, made life easier and saved me a trip to Boston, as well as a day off work during a hectic time of year, well worth the 100 bucks or so he charged...

mark groseti - small world he ran all my paperwork too. I went the sea school route, it's focused to what you need for the the ticket.

Is that the same as a "six pack" liscense or something different? I thought it was just a written test, I'm considering getting the liscense in the future so just curious.
