Thinking About Getting Your OUPV (Six-Pack) License?

 

We are no longer offering the OUPV course and found that the best pathway is to enroll in our Master 100 Gross Ton Course.

 

Our Master 100 GT course meets the U.S. Coast Guard requirements for:

 

- OUPV Inland

- OUPV Near Coastal

- Master 100 Gross Ton Inland & Near Coastal

 

By completing this single course, you’ll not only qualify for the OUPV credential but also open the door to upgrading to a Master’s license.
