PAST UPDATES

We hope these updates will provide more value and a better learning experience.

Updated Online Exam Process

Our team has been diligently working on improving our online exam experience. Right now, online exam scheduling requires a two-week lead time. We have been working with a software provider and the National Maritime Center to implement a solution that only requires a two-day lead time. Stay tuned as we plan to launch this option in Winter 2023. Until then we’ll continue to use our current online exam approach.
