     American Marine Training Centers, LLC, is United States Coast Guard approved and specializes in lower-level deck licenses including Master, not more than 100 Tons and OUPV (Six-Pack).  We offer many other courses that are listed on our COURSES page.  We are continually adding new courses.  American Marine Training Centers, L.L.C. is located in Sequim, Washington, approximately 3 miles from John Wayne Marina, in the beautiful Olympic Peninsula.  Pronounced:  “S’kwim” in the native language of the S’ Klallam Tribe, it means “Quiet Waters”.

    AMTC is one of the few mariner training facilities in the country who are authorized to give separate "Inland Only" or "Inland, Great Lakes, and Near Coastal" exams.  At AMTC, if you only qualify for the Inland Master or Inland OUPV License, you only have to test for that license; which means shorter, less complicated exams for you.

    Our format is simple, a complete captain's license course in one week.  We typically start on a Saturday and our courses continue on consecutive days until we are done.  That means you are finished with your course and your exams in one week!

     While other schools are increasing their prices, we at American Marine Training Centers, L.L.C., have maintained our decreased prices to continue to make our Master Course and OUPV Course more economically attainable for everyone.

     There are no hidden fees;  everything you need to complete your course, including your exams, are contained within the price of your course.

     In all of our courses the student will test at our location, using our U.S. Coast Guard Approved exams.  This relieves the student of having to test at the Coast Guard’s Regional Exam Center.  In addition, we will assist you with preparing and electronically submitting your paperwork to the Coast Guard.  We will work with you every step of the way in getting your license.

     Our state-of-the-art, permanent training facility offers a dedicated learning environment.  We supply all of the materials needed for the courses so that the student can concentrate on learning.  We ask that the students show up for the courses with a positive attitude and a willingness to learn.

     AMTC instructors not only have a thorough knowledge and understanding of the material, they have also worked in the Maritime Industry.  Each of our instructors have twenty years or more of experience.  All of our instructors have prior teaching experience in the Coast Guard or the Maritime Industry.  We also keep our student-to-instructor ratio to not more than 6:1 for all plotting exercises.

     See what our students/graduates have to say about us on our TESTIMONIALS page.   There are many LODGING options available such as hotels/motels, RV parks, and John Wayne Marina (if you choose to come by boat).  No matter where you decide to stay, be sure to make your lodging reservations in advance.

     Whether you wish to run a small charter fishing boat (six-pack) or a large dinner cruise ship, if you are serious about getting your Captain's license, American Marine Training Centers, L.L.C. is the right place for you.  At AMTC our goal is to produce the finest trained, licensed captains on the water.  If you are interested in obtaining your Captain's license or you have questions CONTACT US today!
