How are we different?

  • We don't play the "Bait and Switch" game by advertising a low price and adding extra costs for study materials, "off site" fee or "exam" fee. Our pricing is up front!
  • We don't cancel class at the last minute! We don't spread ourselves too thinly all over the country and leave you hanging if we think it will not be profitable to serve you.
  • We don't drill test questions-- we teach! In the same amount of time that it takes to memorize test questions, we ensure that you learn valuable information you can use on the water. We give you your money's worth!
  • No testing at U.S.C.G. with any of our programs! We test in the same classroom that our class is held.
