All of our Captain’s License classes are USCG approved and can be taken in lieu of testing at the Coast Guard
A "Captain’s License" is a license issued by the US Coast Guard which allows you
to professionally operate a vessel that carries passengers or cargo for hire. There
are several types of licenses issued by the Coast Guard to professional mariners. The
two most common entry level licenses are the OUPV (Operator of Uninspected Passenger
Vessels - commonly called a six-pack license) and a Master Mariner’s License.
Master Mariner Captain’s License up to 100-Gross Tons
Master Mariners’ licenses are categorized in several ways. Among these are tonnage
and area of operation. With a Master’s License you are able to operate both uninspected
and inspected vessels up to the tonnage printed on your license. First time master’s
licenses may be limited to inland or near coastal waters up to 200 miles offshore. The
tonnage and area of operation that you are eligible for is determined by the sea time
you submit with your application to the Coast Guard. Annapolis School of Seamanship
provides assistance in obtaining and completing the appropriate application forms for
students seeking their license.
Upon successful completion of our 80-hour USCG approved course, you will be
issued a certificate that the Coast Guard will accept in lieu of taking the Master
License Exam at the USCG Regional Exam Center (REC) for licenses up to 100 Gross Tons.
The certificate is valid for one year at any REC. However, in order to obtain a license
you must submit your completed application and sea service to your local REC.

FIRST AID & CPR with AED (STCW)
This 8-Hour First Aid & CPR with AED class is designed
for all mariners both recreational and professional. The class
is approved by the US Coast Guard to satisfy the requirements for
mariners under the International Convention on the Standards of
Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW) and satisfies the
requirements for a Coast Guard Captain’s license. While, much of
the information and training is the same as what you would receive
in other land-based First Aid and CPR classes, there is additional
information and emphasis on issues pertinent to professional
mariners and recreational boaters. Circumstances involving waterborne
accidents require specific training that may not be addressed in
other First Aid & CPR classes.
Students will also be trained in the use of Automated External
Defibrillators (AED) like the ones you may have seen in airports.
AED’s are essential lifesaving equipment for victims of life
threatening cardiac arrhythmias such as ventricular fibrillation
or tachycardia. In situations where emergency medical care will
be delayed such as aboard a vessel, AED’s can mean the difference
between survival and death.
Upon successful completion of this class, students will receive
an STCW First Aid & CPR certificate. This class is accepted by
American Sailing Association & U.S. Sailing for certification in First Aid & CPR.
