Dan Dale is a great instructor. Front desk of MPT should win an award! Great staff who walk you through everything you need for school or USCG applications

Although I do have a lot of experience and back ground I always come away from courses at MPT with greater knowledge and understanding of my field. MPT, the staff and instructors are all top shelf in my book.
