As someone who is a student of 'teaching as an art', I never expected this.  All should know, from the time you walk through the door, everywhere you look in the classroom, every presentation, every exercise, every challenge, Flagship Maritime Training is THE institute for the professional. This training was priceless.

Ron Q., Firefighter

I found this hard to believe, but even facing a class with large differences in experience and education, Skip demonstrated an ability to present the materials as an instructor and coach with a method that created such enthusiasm that he was able to keep the attention of all students, instill confidence in everyone, and develop everyone's maritime skills successfully.

The class was well worth my time and effort. It was one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever undertaken.  The instructor was first class, and his real world experience made the class come alive.  Skip, thanks for helping me set a new course.

This is an unusual circumstance. Finding Skip Anderson and Flagship has been a huge windfall for me. Nowhere else can you find an old salt as refined, knowledgeable, gracious, and kind, with a heart as deep as the ocean.  My only regret is NOT signing up for class five years ago when I first learned of it.  Thank you, Skip!

Though there were several outstanding students in my class, what I did have in my favor was experience. This allowed me to readily recognize Skip's ability to download massive amounts of information, nearly overwhelming for some of the students.

Soon after Jan helped me fulfill the final Coast Guard requirements, I learned the officers in the CG trusted Flagship Maritime in their judgment of the students ability to perform as a  ships captain.
