MASTER 100 TONS (Captains License)

MASTER 100 TONS (Captains License)

MASTER 100 TONS (Captains License)

This U.S. Coast Guard-Approved course meets the written examination requirement for the following National endorsements:
 
  • Master of vessels less than 100 Gross Registered Tons (Near Coastal, or Great Lakes & Inland, or Inland Waters)
  • Operator of Uninspected Passenger Vessels (OUPV) (Near Coastal, or Great Lakes & Inland, or Inland Waters).
 
The course certificate may be used for one application which results in the issuance of an endorsement and may not be used for any application transactions thereafter. In other words, if you are issued an OUPV after submitting this certificate to the NMC with your license application, and in the future you want to upgrade to a Master Near Coastal, you may not reuse that certificate with your future application.
 
You must at that time complete new exam requirements to upgrade from OUPV to Master, in that case. 
 
For students completing classes after November 15, 2025:
For up to three (3) years after completion, you may return to the Maritime Institute and receive complimentary access to our online “OUPV to Master Upgrade” course—ensuring you can move toward your ultimate licensing goal without repeating foundational training.

Master 100 Tons IN-CLASS session: We will mail you the following required books with instructions on what to study in advance of your class: (3) Maritime Institute Captain Course textbooks, and (1) U.S. Coast Guard Navigation Rules & Regulations Handbook also known as the "Rules of the Road" handbook. Plotting tools will be loaned to you in-class.
 
We highly advise that students register at least one month in advance to allow adequate time to study. The CLASSROOM sessions are held over two weeks, Monday through Friday 8:00 am until 5:00 pm, with approx. 2-5 hours of homework every night and on weekends. Final examinations are taken in-class on the last day.

Length: 80 Hours

The course is self-paced. You are responsible for completing the required readings, studying, and quizzes within the 12-week timeframe. There are no scheduled meetings, discussion times, or virtual/live instruction. 
Once you complete the online course, you will have 90 days from your course end date to complete all required in-person exams and/or retakes.
The following items will be mailed to you:

You should ensure you are aware of the U.S. Coast Guard National Maritime Center requirements for a license prior to registering for a course.

Any applicant who has successfully completed your Master 100 Tons (MARINS-281) course within one year of application will satisfy the examination requirements of 46 CFR 11.201(j)(1) for original issuance, 46 CFR 10. 227(e)(1)(iii) for renewal, and 46 CFR 10.227(i) for reissuance for any one the following endorsements: Master of vessels of less than 100 GRT (Near Coastal, or Great Lakes & Inland, or Inland Waters); OR Operator of Uninspected Passenger Vessels (OUPV) (Near Coastal, or Great Lakes & Inland, or Inland Waters).
