Beginning the Course: You will be able to start as soon as you receive your course materials and Log On information from us.

Identification: As part of our approval, you must submit to us a copy of your government issued photo ID. You must also supply a copy of this ID and show the original of it to the Proctor when you take your final examination. This is used to confirm a student’s identity.

Course Assistance: You will receive a special email address so that one of our USCG approved instructors can receive and answer your question or they will be more than happy to call you.

Course Incomplete: If you cannot complete the course within the time limit, there are only two options.
First option, a no-passing grade is recorded and there is no ability to take the final exams.
Second option, an incomplete can be requested. You will need to re-enroll in the course within 90 days of your incomplete request date. Your past on-line efforts are removed and you start the class over. Only one incomplete will be granted.

Final Exams:
These are required if you are requesting a license from the USCG. The final exams are given by NMC approved proctors at our approved testing sites. We are working hard to get as many strategically located sites throughout the country. However, it can take over eight weeks to get new sites and proctors approved. Therefore you must plan on taking the required exam at one of the already approved locations.
You need to take the final exam no later than 45 day after the class end date.
As you work through the class, determine when you want to take the final exam and let us know.

NOTE: you can take each exam three times. If you fail the third time you MUST take the entire course over again! The means retaking all the exams again. We will let you retake the course once at no cost. However, you will have to pay the examination fee.

Please Note:
As of April 15, 2009 ALL licensed mariners must have a TWIC card. Go to www.tsa.gov/twic for all the information
