We teach a variety of maritime courses in classroom, online, and blended formats, from the USCG-approved captains license classes, to public safety and recreational boating classes. Most of our classes are fully accredited, as a result of our unique partnership with Northeast Wisconsin Technical College in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Several funding opportunities are available to qualified students. We are dedicated to providing a sound learning experience for all our students. Learning is more than reading a book or listening to a lecture. It is being actively involved in the learning process. This can only be done when the instructors apply the discuss-demonstrate-do approach. Students also learn in different ways. To meet everyone’s needs we use auditory, visual, and kinesthetic activities. In other words, students listen, see, and do the activities to provide the best learning experience. Calls from former students are always welcomed.
