Great experience at MPT. Instructors were engaging, funny, knowledgable and just down right lovely people to spend 3 days with. A refresher is always a drag to have to do but the instructors made it worth it. Very considerate and attentive to people’s questions or queries regarding the physical aspect. Great space, would and have recommended them to my vessel for furtive crew. Thank you for making it easy and seamless.

It’s was an pleasant experience from the moment I walked through the door. All the way to the class. My instructors were very knowledgeable. And taught a way that we could soak it all in. Never once they made you feel out of place if you didn’t know or understand any part of the lesson. MPT has earned an continuous student in me. Thank you MPT

Cargo Handling and Stowage (Operational Level) (MARTPT-100)
Possibly the best training I’ve had in my 40 years at sea. I needed the certificate for STCW and already had the CG testing done. I reviewed and practiced prior to class. I’d suggest sending study material out to all students prior to class so they can freshen up basic stability, formulas, etc.

First Aid /CPR - Saturday Class
This was an excellent class and our instructor, Chief Kevin Buckwald, was outstanding. As a USMMA, Kings Point graduate I had not gone to sea since 1998 and I picked MPT based on the highest recommendation from colleagues. Your course did not disappoint. The instructor's knowledge and ability to teach and train were impressive. The use of illustrations and "real life" examples were excellent. This is an intensive program and Chief Buckwald kept everyone engaged. The process was excellent and the Rules Training measured up and exceeded any prior training I have received. I worked with Anne and Terri and they were extremely knowledgeable and helpful from start to submitting docs to USCG on last day. BRAVO ZULU MPT! All my best, Sean Dalton.
