I rarely rate anything as a 10 but MPT is a school I really enjoy attending. Staff and instructors are very friendly and so helpful Given a choice MPT is the school I will always choose.
Great experience. The instructor Bernard Charon was top notch. The facilities and simulators are incredible.
Hey thanks alot for giving me the opportunity to once again toot the MPT horn here. That was another fabulous class! Bernard is a really amazing instructor and I learned so much. I believe I made the right choice by choosing a school that didn't spend most of the time trying to sell one particular brand of DP system but instead concentrated on making the students the best possible DPO's. I can't wait to get my 30 days done so I can come back for the advanced class! Thanks again MPT - you guys are awesome!
Scott and Bernard were two of the best, most patient and receptive teachers I have had in this industry. Gave me a thorough understanding of the basics and an idea of what is like to work on a DP vessel. I will definitely come back to MPT for my advanced with Scott and Bernard teaching!
The class was professionally run and time was managed very well by the professor. He did a very good job for preparing us for the exam.
Both, the training facility and the instructors are great. Bernard is an excellent instructor with great teaching capabilities, fully patient and supportive. Thanks for the awesome experience.
wow,I was so impress with the facilities,thanks very much for mpt
