Hello,

Last week I attended your AB class with Gary Haugland as the instructor. I just wanted to write a quick note to let you know that Gary was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable about the subject matter and willing to answer any questions. He taught the class in a way that made it easy to understand. I will highly recommend Compass Courses to my shipmates.

Thanks, Steve Gunn

Hi.

Just completed your basic training course with Michael. I would first like to say that the school was excellent; all your teaching at school and outside was very knowledgable. I found all topics were covered really well to give me the knowledge I needed to know or be aware of. The North Bend fire section was really great. The instructors were excellent. I will highly recommend your school to people I meet in the industry that need training also.

Thanks Again.

Happy holidays!Rod Bonneville

I cannot stop telling everyone I meet about my incredible experience at Compass Courses. The facility is incredible, and the instructors care and have a way of teaching that allows you to enjoy your experience while gaining your rating. I attended for the BST class, but I am considering becoming a captain…just so I can keep visiting all of my friends at Compass Courses. Chris Duncan
Compass Courses is the best maritime school in the United States. We are continually pleased at the outstanding students that graduate from their programs and become the sea’s next best! Dr. Paul Martin
My training experience at Compass was great! We had such a good time with the instructors that it made learning painless. If nothing else, check out the gravity lifeboat! It is one of a kind! Misty Phillips

Amazing work on the onsite lifeboat and davit system!!! I was searching the entire West Coast for a lifeboat class with an onsite davit system. Luckily, a friend had taken your course a while back and told me about you. 4/13 PSC/Lifeboat
Everything done very well. I attended [another program] & felt this course was more informative, easier to follow, had better course material and equipment, and better instructors. 4/13 PSC/Lifeboat
This is by far the best place for maritime training. The instructors & facility are top notch. I’ve been to several so I know this to be true.4/13 PSC/Lifeboat
