OUPV 6-Pack Captain's License

I just finished Mariners last month in Warwick and was happy with it. Compact class schedule was good and they prepped the test well. I know that they are working on a study at home option where they have the course lectures on-line and you can watch recorded lectures. Might be worth looking into if you have to go study at home.

My dad used NE Maritime 10 or so years ago, and when comparing notes, that seemed to be a much more in-depth program. Mariners coached the test alot, but that worked for me, I needed my ticket. That said, it was a really good class to take, there are alot of things that I had just taken for granted, and now I have a much more thorough understanding.

Of course if I never do another plot, set and drift question again in my life, I'll be just fine...

Thanks to everyone for their input. I think I will be looking at taking the class.

Got my master's at NE Maritime in Quincy in '03. For me the tests were a piece of cake, but definitely easier taking them at different times. Testing at CG is all one shot, one day. I don't think I could have done it that way. Too much stress.
With NEM, you can also opt to upgrade for the masters toward the end of the class. I forget, but I think it's a few more weeks and just a few more questions.
