Greetings all, I am looking for some insight. Recent knowledge and pros and cons for this school program? Job outlook for grads from Seattle? Acceptance in the mariner community? Cost benefit analysis, vs hawespipe route(nearly impossible to get initially hired with OS right now) vs academy route. …

If I may tag along with this question, I have been looking at the Engineering side program at Seattle Maritime, and would love to hear people’s opinions of it. Its around a year long program, full time (plus some sea time), and you graduate with a QMED with Electrician, Oiler, Pumpman, Refrigeratin…

Sf deckhand, U thinking of attending this fall. Program starts Sept 29th. Keep in touch! Give me a shout

I’m sure the training is just fine, but I think it is a lot of money to spend to just get an AB and a 100 ton license. You can get a job (even in this economy) as an entry level deckhand on any little passenger vessel (Cruise West, Lindblad, American Safari, American Canadian Cruiseline, not to men…

Capt Fran, Thanks for the advice! As far as the job hunting. I have taken BST at Maine Maritime. Have TWIC, Passport etc, Every company you listed, (and many more) I have applied to and not even an email, letter or call acknowledging receipt of the application/resume. I have quite a few skills that…

As an unlimited chief engineer and former engineering instructor at SMA I can attest to the quality of training and benefits the school offers. It’s an excellent starting point for someone seeking a career in the workboat industry or as an unlicensed mariner in the deepsea fleet. If you already hav…

Aww c’mon our northeastern schools are the best! Just so you know, I don’t believe that there is a Master’s engineering program at SUNY just yet. I know they are trying to create one, but for now, the only grad-license program there is with a deck license. And I believe they shortened the grad prog…

What sort of degree do you hold? If it is one a few specific types (electrical, mechanical) from an accredited university you may be able to write a 3rd Assistant Engineer’s license with just 6 months of sea time as a wiper. This is a not-often used rule in the CFRs (Title 46, Chapter I) Sec. 10.…

Thanks again to everyone for their input. HOWEVER, the conversation has digressed a bit from the inital post. I am looking for input and insight to Seatlle MAritime Academy!! People who went there. People who have worked with grads. Also, take a look a my background and skills(flever9) and maybe gi…

Well, then reread post #7 and just ignore the clause beginning with “if you choose engineering.”
