    Tidewater School of Navigation (also called Mid-Atlantic Maritime) in Virginia Beach, VA. Many of the AB's at MSC go to classes there when they are going for their Third Mate ticket. I have taken many classes with them and have been very happy with their operation and quality of instructers. http://www.mamatrains.com/index.asp

    PMI in Seattle offers all the AB to Mate courses, too.

    Crawford has a fantastic license prep offering, but as far as I know they don't do all the OICNW courses.

    Default Thank you all

    I really appreciate everyone's advice and help, this is a great forum and tool for all mariners..It's kind of tough to get people to want to help someone go from unlicensed to licensed. I've had people just explain how tough it is and not to even bother if i'm not going through an academy, very discouraging sometimes...Once again thank you all and good sailing

    Pick up a copy of Leonard Lambert's "The New Hawsepipe" if you don't have it yet. It will be a huge help to you.
