Amazing Alumni

The biggest benefit from attending [the school] was the exposure I got to different areas of the industry, as well as a wide exposure to different types of boats. Seeing those things gave me a great idea of what part of the industry I wanted to go work in. I really enjoyed my time [as a student]. It was a great experience matched by nothing else. I feel the instructors were more than qualified to teach and were able to give me all the knowledge I needed to succeed in this industry.
