MTC Maritime Training Center, Tampa FL

Fantastic program run by Capt John Mincey, a retired Coast Guard Chief with a huge depth of knowledge which he graciously shared with us. I have considerable experience and John greatly enhanced my knowledge and skillsets. I highly recommend!

Don’t bother paying for them to send your package in for you, I did and it got kicked back 3 times and then the instructor ghosted me after the cost guard threw my application out completely. It was a good course well thought out and they will work with you if you’re having trouble on a subject. I’m still currently fighting the battle with the coast guard on my own which was never my intention since I paid them ensure I had what I needed. Sometimes you don’t get what you pay for.

I want to thank MTC, particularly captain John Mincey. Not only does he possess the experience necessary to competently teach the class, he also has the ability to gauge his students. He spent the right amount of time on all the material we needed to cover. I would highly recommend the in class experience as John was an invaluable resource for the variety of questions. It really helps you to understand and apply what you’re learning. Great job, thanks again!

Highly recommend in-class learning experience for OUPV certification. A difficult course with a ton of information packed into 7 days, but Captain John made it informative, fun and useful!

Amazing course! Captain John ensured the knowledge was retained with "real world application". I was worried about the complexity of the material, but John made it relatable. Very comfortable environment. No denying it, this is a tough course! Instructed with expertice and professionalism. Definitely recommend this in person course!

I recently completed my OUPV - 6 pack license with MTC Maritime Training Center and have nothing but great things to say about the MTC Maritime school and my teacher Captain John Mincey. Captain John is an outstanding teacher, very knowledgeable, always available, and has tons of experience on the water. Captain John is very patient with you and willing to help you understand the material no matter how many times he must explain it to you. I want to thank Captain John and MTC Maritime Training Center for helping me obtain my Captains License. If I was to ever upgrade my license, I am choosing MTC Maritime Training Center. Captain John, you are a great teacher brother!

I recently had the pleasure of taking a CPR, First Aid, and AED course at MTC Maritime Training Center taught by John, and I couldn't be more impressed! His enthusiasm and passion for the subject made the class engaging and easy to follow. He provided us with in-depth knowledge and real-life scenarios that helped us feel prepared for any situation. John's instructional style was practical, hands-on, and interactive. I left feeling confident that I could handle any emergency situation that may arise. I cannot recommend John and his training center enough! The facilities were clean, organized, and well-equipped. If you need certification in CPR, First Aid, and AED, or any other maritime safety training, MTC is the right choice. Thanks, John, for a fantastic experience!
