I am living outside of the US so I only have a short window to take my course while visiting. Sea School in AL might have some availability, but the others I’ve found (like Fletcher) either are full or won’t fit my schedule. Can anyone recommend schools/courses in the LA/TX area for Lifeboatman? Thank you. ---

All I could say is hope Sea School has a opening, but if you could make it to MPT in Fort Lauderdale Fl. thats where I did mine. I’ve liked MPT better than Sea School, MPT is also (in my experience) better about making room for you in a class. Hope that helps. ---
