"Have been trying to get my Captain's license for years. But something always seems to get in the way. These kind folks have always help in the past and I'm sure they will be there in the future"
"It would have been much easier to study if all the sections came with a physical/paper study book. It is difficult to read the materials only on the computer, and limits the ease of study and note taking. A physical study book is more useful-- you can highlight, underline circle, write margin notes, carry it around, etc. I did very well on the portions where I had the paper study materials, and not so well on the computer study materials. Additionally, some of the exam questions either had typos or were purposely confusing."
"Excellent program for seeking a professional career "
"Just about 1/2 way through my course work but so far it has been very clear and easy to navigate the course. My box of material arrived in a timely manner and seems complete."
"Everything was delivered as promised in a timely manner and professionally packaged. Thank you MLS."
"The online classroom is easy to access and the books charts and plotting tools came in good time."
"Quick and easy to learn. Nice "
"Well organized course materials. Staff is professional and easy to reach."
"Got my study info pretty quick, glanced over everything and it looks pretty comprehensive. I hope it's all as easy to navigate as they claim."
"Work at your own pace and at your own schedule. No classmates or instructor. "
"If you want to become a captain buy the course period "
"Mariners Learning System was great. Having already been in the commercial boating industry it was good to brush up on and even learn a few new knowledge areas. For those not in the boating world, MLS provides detailed study guides and video tutorials which was very helpful during the plotting module, and the online access is available for 1 year if you need it. I signed up for the 6 pack and Masters courses and within a month took and passed my proctored exams. If you can't afford to take time off work to go to a traditional classroom environment, are disciplined enough to study on your own time, and want to save some money, then I would highly recommend MLS."
"Thank you, great experience. "
"Stoked on my future endeavors and adventures!"
"For one who loves a challenge, the online course is a definite. If you read, study, and understand the material, within a short time, you can also be on the way to being a captain!!! Good luck"
