I always understood the on-the-water hours qualification was the more limiting restriction. Is that not in place anymore?
I know a lot of licensed captains out there aren’t worth a damn. IE: It takes more than just passing a test.

I second Josh's comments about Mariners Learning System - but I had the hard copy books (as well as online / DVD's) and found myself using them on long flights, making notes etc. I passed the test easily after taking the course - I added a couple of apps to my phone for light / signal flash cards that came in handy. I would recommend Mariners Learning System - if you are OK learning from materials / on your own. Just to note, this was not my first experience with certification, having done the RYA tests when I lived in England. Getting the correct medical and drug testing done is not as simple as it sounds.

I didn't like the materials because it was a video that simply read through the course book. The tests were simple quizes and module tests were rote memorization of the written and video material. We made flash cards of all of the quiz and test questions and passed the final test pretty easily. Crammed the night before.

When i retire I want to be able to move some boats for a living maybe for a local marina and the like. I want to get the ball rolling. But I find that there are from around $500 bucks on line to as much as 1500 in class type schools. I was hoping for some incite on the better way to take and pass the test. I want to learn and I want to pass. I want to better hone my skill to become a better skipper. I have a 65 mile ride to Charleston or a 30 mile ride to Savannah to find a school. Are the On-Line courses sufficient enough to make the test passable? I would thing a instructor would be needed to prepare for a test like that? they claim a 98% pass rate.
