I’m due to renew in the fall of 27, but with the shutdown I’m finding that I need to take my classes sooner than I anticipated. With the shenanigans from NEMO, I’m wondering what my other options are and what’s your experience with them. I’m going through the approved courses from the NMC but looking for personal input. Thanks!

Resolve in FL is easy and cheap to get to by air, and my experiences with them have all been positive.

I had mine at Maine Maritime a few months ago. I would definitely recommend them.

I looked at them, as of now they’re only scheduled in the summer and I’m on the boat for all of them.
