The Benefits Of Getting Your Captain’s License
Dec 18, 2007
by John Luchka

Here is Captain John Luchka on the water. He feels much better prepared now that he has attended the Mariners School to obtain his captain's license.
The student must pass all modules to receive a certification of completion. If a student fails one or more modules, he or she may retest twice more without delay on the failed modules. Those who do not pass an exam module after three attempts must wait a period of three months to retest. The student will be required to complete the entire course prior to being allowed another three attempts at each module. In this case the student must retest and pass all four Exam Modules.

Most importantly, Mariners School was probably the most important decision I made and I now have a better understanding of how important it is to abide by and understand everything related to being a safer boater. Stop by and visit the folks of Mariners School at an upcoming boat show and make a smart investment in your boating future.
