625 Chief Mate / Master License Advancement Preparation - $ 2,499.00 |
Course Description
Candidates enrolling in this course should be preparing to take the USCG Chief Mate or Master Examinations up to Unlimited Tonnage. This course is a review of the types of questions and problems that will be on the USCG exams. This course is led by a Master Instructor who will review what is on the test and how to be completely prepared for success on the exam. The course will run Monday - Saturday for two weeks, approximately 84 hours of time with your instructor and a total of 12 class days. This 2 week course will review the subjects on the examinations. Many candidates may wish for more time with the instructor in a group tutoring capacity to get extra practice time. This is available by also registering for the five (5) day MPT #215 License Advancement Tutoring. MPT separates these two courses to allow each individual to receive the amount of preparation they need. Additional study is available online with LAPware to review the USCG question and answer pool as needed. Courses #625 and #215 should not be undertaken until the candidate has completed all/most required training courses for the raise in grade and are preparing to take the written examinations shortly thereafter. Candidates wishing to test shortly after the course should apply to the USCG in advance and receive their ATT (approval to test) letter from the National Maritime Center and call to set up testing dates at the REC. The closest REC to MPT is in Miami but you can test at any USCG REC once approved.
