I did the online chief mates orals prep course. I decided to go with this company due to recommendations from colleagues. Whilst they do offer a lot of content and elements of it are good. I I found their overall approach to the prep course and delivery of it to be very unprofessional. They were often late without notice or sometimes one hour early with only a few minutes notice. The quality of their resources was often poor and cumbersome. When seeking clarification on certain points their explanations at times were misleading and left me just as confused.
For the price I paid (£1050). I do not think it was value for money. There are better prep courses available. I would not recommend GMA.Arpan Roy

Cannot recommend GMA enough. The lecturers are highly knowledgeable, patient and helpful. I have just completed Chief Mates orals prep course, and it is fantastic. It covers all areas of study very well with support material and software that is not offered elsewhere. Well worth it.

The courses aren't good, the classes can be overcrowded, some of the lecturers can't speak clear English. For the oral prep there is no conceptual learning, only associative, so you just memozise information to regurgitate parrot fashion only to forget after passing the oral exam. You learn the exam and pass, but you aren't properly educated, just an exercise how good you are a remembering things. Some but not all of the Indian students are disruptive in classes as they repeat what the lecturers say all the time. Lecturers are often late and take too many smoking breaks. The courses are expensive but a waste of time, the Croatia guy was friendly but just spent the time boasting and giving the class irrelevant IQ tests. They run courses more regularly than other places which warrants one star.
