Approved Courses for Sale
No one can sell a US Coast Guard approval; but any one can purchase approved course curriculum and apply to the National Maritime Center (NMC) for approval to teach the course. I have a long list of approved courses for sale that includes all the courses that I currently teach at my school.
Most of my courses are available for around $2,500 each. I will also write a custom course for you. I require 50% of the cost up front and the balance within 30 days of you receiving the course approval letter from the NMC. If the course is denied I will make changes to the curriculum as stated in the denial letter at no additional charge.
As soon as I receive 50% payment for the purchase I will send you an email requesting information for customizing your course. It generally takes a couple of weeks for me to do this. Once the course is completed I will email the course files to you along with instructions on how to apply for NMC course approval. This process can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months.
Here is a list of approved courses that I currently have on file. These courses are either approved through Columbia Pacific Maritime, another approved school that I have worked with or both.
