    Resolve training was effective and realistic. I am confident that taking this instruction back to a vessel and drilling would prepare us for fire emergencies.

    Resolve Maritime Academy’s Basic Firefighting course is a standout in maritime safety training, offering seafarers essential skills for managing fire emergencies at sea. The course is designed to meet the requirements of the STCW (Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping), ensuring that participants are well-prepared to handle the unique challenges of shipboard fires.

    The training is highly practical, focusing on hands-on experience that is crucial for building confidence and competence in emergency situations. Participants learn to use firefighting equipment, manage different types of fires, and execute emergency procedures in a realistic, controlled environment. The academy’s state-of-the-art facilities, including a full-scale fire training simulator, provide an immersive experience that closely replicates real-life conditions at sea.

    Instructors at Resolve Maritime Academy are experienced professionals who bring a wealth of knowledge from their time at sea. Their expertise ensures that the training is not just theoretical but grounded in real-world application, making it highly relevant for maritime professionals.

    The intensity of the course can be demanding, especially for those new to the maritime industry. Despite this, the Basic Firefighting course at Resolve Maritime Academy is an invaluable investment in safety, equipping seafarers with the critical skills needed to protect lives and vessels in the event of a fire.

    Great place to take your STCW classes. Don't go in summer unless you have to, it is incredibly hot (Florida in firefighter gear...)

    Got to take a week of STCW courses here and I fully enjoyed every day! The instructors were so good at their jobs and really explained everything in a detailed manor, and then would add personal stories that would solidify it in my mind. I felt I was able to absorb it all easily and will use everything I learned in all aspects of my life. They were super understanding and really treated us all like professionals. I had so much fun, and highly, highly recommend!

    Completed firefighting training here as part of an STCW course. Will was our instructor and he was fantastic. The course was thorough and easy to understand, but full of interesting information. This is a great facility and a great place for training. The firefighters over at Gray Manatee who work with Resolve to get us through the actual firefighting are also fantastic guys. So helpful, very nice, patient and thorough. It was a really cool experience.

    Adrian, Rico, Nate, Brian….all the instructors are amazing and truly care about their students. If you’re certifying or recertifying your USCG credentials or STCW, etc and you want to learn from the best, these are the guys you want to train with. Their partnership with Bluewater Training makes the process seamless. Safety and skill training are their priorities and they make the class challenging but within reach of their students. I learned volumes during the two-day Basic Class and hope to return soon for more advanced classes. Thanks, Chauncey, Will, Johnny and the whole team!

    Very uncomfortable and dividing. They dont tell you to expect this before you get there. There is a banner larger than the company logo advertising for a past president, wierd.

    Felt really uncomfortable here... saw this out my break window during a training (post inauguration). Wish they’d keep professional and keep political views to themselves. Won’t be back.

    I may be prejudiced but I believe this is the best non-union maritime school in the country. I had offers to be an instructor elsewhere but the simulators at Resolve make our STCW-based deck and engine training it "as real as it gets". In Port Everglades we have the BEST maritime fire-fighting school in the country, bar none.
