"Great on-line course. Gave me the information I needed to pass the USCG Operator of Uninspected Passenger Vessel or Six-Pack License Test. Learned a lot more that will serve me well on the water. I highly recommend it. If the student studies what they give you, he or she will pass the test. It is that simple."
"Within one calendar day (Sunday) I have received my access code, and the next business day I had the course materials. Couldn't be more impressed. Everything seems to be top quality thus far. "
"Great program, very user-friendly."
" I believe all the information is really well done in the reading sections. The lecture notes could be done better with more video content. I have had a problem with some of the quizzes where the answers that I have checked come up as different answers repeatedly. "
"Great system with fast help"
"I loved being able to study online at my own pace."
"Yes, I was very happy with all of the services that I received from the Mariners Learning System and I plan on taking more classes from them in the very near future I thank them very much for their help."
"quick and easy. They answered all of my questions."
"Pay the school and take the classes instead. Doing this course online is not easy. Lots of questions that are not included in the quizzes and final exams come out of nowhere in the final testing. You almost need to read all the books and memorize tons of info. Not practical, Not recommended"
“Alex,
We are sorry to hear that you had a less than desirable experience.
Most students find that passing one of our Coast Guard approved courses can be achieved with a reasonable amount of effort and focused study.
However, to be successful you must follow the lesson plan and read the study guides or you will find questions on the final exam that you will not be prepared to answer.
As part of your program you have toll free telephone support during normal business hours. I would invite you to give one of our staff instructors a call so that they can help you achieve your goal of becoming a licensed captain.
Don't give up now! Give us a call at 1-888-732-2278 and allow us to help you get back on course...

A rep from Mariners Learning System, MLSOfficialReplies2, has responded:
“Erik,
Thanks for taking the time to review our course offerings.
After reading your review our team went into the OUPV/Six-pack course and found that we serve up 75+ video clips to aid in the learning process with extensive focus on the Rules of the Road, Safety at Sea, Plotting and Navigation.
We work hard to simplify the learning process and would welcome the opportunity of speaking with you directly. Captain Bob (President/CEO) has an open door policy and is available most days during our normal business hours - He can be reached directly at (609) 303-0664. If you take the time I am pretty sure he will be able to find a Limited MLS Captains shirt or baseball cap with your name on it! Give us a call we would love to hear from you.
Thanks again!
MLS Staff”
