Why train with Us

Not just any school can be a Transport Canada Marine Safety Course Provider.  Instructors must have a Transport Canada Commercial Masters Certificate, an Adult Education Diploma, comply with Transport Canada Quality Management and use certified texts and approved exams. The process takes up to two years to finally qualify and courses are audited by Transport Canada Master Mariners.

We are authorized to issue your Certificate on the final day of your course.  In fact, your first step into the world as a legal Commercial Mariner is often with us.   We take it seriously and you can trust us to emphasize what you really need to know as a Professional Mariner, never just dry coverage of textbook material.
