This course combines the availability of online and Face - Face  (traditional) learning environments.  Students start their experience in the virtual classroom and then reinforce what they have learned by applying what they have learned in a hands-on experience.  When the course is complete, the new mariner takes a series of four exams that are approved by the USCG to demonstrate what they have learned.  Upon successful completion of the exams, learners are awarded a certificate of completion which satisfies the exam requirements for licensure.   

License Description   The OUPV license allows the transport of up to six passengers on an uninspected vessel.

Two licenses:  OUPV Inland: Allows operation of an uninspected vessel carrying up to six passengers on inland waters only.   Near Coastal: Allows operation of an uninspected vessel carrying up to six passengers up to 100 miles offshore. Great Lakes Endorsement: If you have 90 days of your total sea time on the Great Lakes, you will be eligible for this endorsement

Upon successful completion (attendance and passing required exams), you will receive a diploma from The Captain School Key West. Students send diplomas and applications to the U.S. Coast Guard REC, along with their USCG Application, to receive their USCG License.
