Student Testimonials

	"I tested tonight and had great success.... Thank you for all your guidance thru this experience....There was a tremendous amount of information presented in such a clear concise manner. The staff at Mariners couldn't be anymore professional, patient, and prompt then they were. This has been a great experience overall, and I'm looking foward to applying what I have learned in both my personal and professional life on the water. Thank you Mariners Learning System Eric VanZanten May, 2011

	"Having recently passed the OUPV/Masters Coast Guard exam, I would like to thank Mariners Learning System for their help and assistance.. This was my second sitting, as I believe I took your classroom program in 1996 for my OUPV license. Unfortunately, I allowed it to expire while my wife and I were on our 2 1/2 year cruise of Mexico in early 2001. Something I will not do again.... The online study program is a well organized and easily understood system and I passed with ease. Thank You...” Drew Jacobson May, 2011

	"I would recommend the online course to anyone. It was well designed and easy to follow. When I had difficulties, email responses were very quick. Now I have my 6 pack merchant mariner credential!” Charlotte Glashagel May, 2011

	"I am very happy with this program. I learned so much during the lectures and the material was well put together. I took the final exam on April 30th in Albany NY. I passed on the first try..... Thanks so much. I wish I found this long ago. Thanks again." Bob Davies May, 2011

	“I am so impressed with the Mariners Learning System that I want my son Scott to be the first Time Bandit crew member to become a Captain using your program.” Captain Jonathan Hillstrand Time Bandit March, 2011

	“This program is fantastic. Working in the Marine Trades and living on Nantucket Island made the costs of having to travel off island to take a course far to expensive and time consuming. The materials and lessons made completing the exam easy and inexpensive when compared to other programs. I highly recommend this program to anyone wishing to obtain a US Captains License.” Peter T. Gulick February, 2011
