Pathfinder Maritime Training (PMT) was recently approved by the National Maritime Center to offer online exams. Meeting the NMC’s requirements was not an easy task, and the PMT crew couldn’t be more excited. Ultimately this option allows our students to earn maritime licenses completely online – from coursework to examinations. The process for online, video proctor sessions is relatively simple and consists of six steps. Learn more about online exams with the video or summary below. **Note: PMT rebranded in Feb. 2022. The below video references our previous name of Explorer’s Guide Online (EGO). All processes and approvals remain the same, and the only difference is the name change.**
