Morgan Nisbett
I have been going to MPT for 9 years and have done all my classes through them. Its a great school however, Terry that works in the front office has attitude and more importantly will give you wrong information on courses. Tried to tell me I needed to do a number of courses in order to get the license I initially inquired about. Terrible employee and tries to take money from you.
Matthew Milano
People from all over the world go here for the world class training! The front office is always helpful & friendly! Especially Terri and Shirly! They really help out allot and that makes the whole experience that much better!

Mister Hound
Too bad they can’t follow up with people who reach out for information. Went in to see someone a few weeks ago. Individual wasn’t in so I left my email. STILL nothing from them. Way to drop the ball and lose a potential student. Not sure when communicating and simple, common courtesy and customer service became such a Herculean task.

Noah Swenson
I attended MPT for my AEC1&2 courses and loved the entire experience. Kind, witty, and funny teachers taught me much more than I expected. I'll be attending for other maritime courses in the future. And you should too.
Mike Sovay
I visited MPT today and spoke with Miss Teri and she was extremely helpful, polite, and knowledgeable about all the needs that I had. She made sure that I had all of the necessary information so that I could successfully accomplish renewing my Captain's license

Gary B.
They help me get ready to become a merchant mariner and they thoroughly help me on knowing the basics, emergencies and tips onboard!
Nicholas Church
Just went through their Master Captains course, every staff member I talked to was very professional and friendly. It is a lot of information to take in in two weeks, but my instructor (C. Chavez) was very patient and was able to simplify and thoroughly explain anything I didn't fully comprehend. I will definitely recommend MPT to anyone who is wanting to further their maritime training. Big shout out to the ladies that work the front desk as well! I know that they most likely deal with some silly questions and big egos on a daily basis, but any time I saw them they always had a smile on their face and a positive attitude. Very awesome experience overall!
ANTHONY RASA
Great Maritime School. Best in the United States. Came here for my 100 ton capt license. Will be coming back for more classes. Very professional
Adrian Jimenez
I took my masters captains license here and had a good experience. The captain Chris Chavez the instructor knew what he was talking about and was a great teacher.
Diana Strait
Having been to many maritime schools. This one is by far the best. The instructors are in or were in the industry and teach not only how to pass the test but real world knowledge. The admin staff are amazing, you tell them your end result and they'll tell you all the classes you need to get there. I've rarely been upselled for classes I didn't need. They cover USCG and MCA. Commercial and yachting. Engineering to steward dept. And all things safety basic to advanced.
