Does your next job require more than an OUPV? ⚓

If you're looking to work aboard tour boats, crew boats, head boats, small ferries, or other commercial passenger vessels, a Master credential could be the next step in your maritime career—depending on the vessel's tonnage, route, COI, and credential requirements.

And here's the important part: you do NOT need to already have your OUPV to start the path.

Already have your OUPV? ➡️ Take the Master 25–100 GRT Upgrade Course, October 26–28.

Starting from scratch? ➡️ Begin with OUPV October 19–24, then continue directly into the Master course for 10 total days of classroom training.
📍 Houma, Louisiana

Your next opportunity on the water may require the next level of credential. Start preparing for it now.
