Exceeded my expectations

I thoroughly enjoyed this course, especially the onboard practicals. Getting hands on experience onboard, doing everything we discussed in the classroom. The instructor was extremely engaging. Her background and knowledge reassured me that I was receiving an excellent and thorough education. This course made me even more excited to be joining the industry. I would definitely consider further training with Seascope France.
