- In this video, I talk about the ins and outs of the Mariners Learning System including explanation on how the proctored exam works. So glad I did this and be confident that you can do it as well. One correction in the video, I had mentioned I had over 15 years of experience on Lake Michigan. It's more like 18 or more when I actually did the math. Thanks!

Congratulations, Captain it takes hard work and dedication to achieve the ultimate goal. Oh yeah and lil money as well. 😊 Thanks for sharing your journey 👍🏾
Thanks Jett. That means a lot!
I am at my proctored exams now. I've been hesitant to start them. Thanks for the tips.
You are welcome, Spencer. Good luck with them!
Congratulations, Capt. Brian! Hopefully, you'll be able to use those skills on the lake real soon! Happy Thanksgiving!
Hey, Hey Moondog! Happy Thanksgiving to you as well! Thanks for the support, again!!
Great job Capt! Good work
Thanks Craig!!
Congratulations Bryan! Welcome to the brotherhood! 👍🏻😎
Thanks J!
Great information. Thank you
You’re welcome, Tim. Check this vid out as well: ua-cam.com/video/RGzvMEJCkxI/v-deo.htmlsi=2PMcpZA218-6pXzD
Great video on this Brian! I’m 3/4 of the way thru the modules! I’ve been working on and off since the first of August! I like that I can take my time and not rush thru it!
Thanks!! I wanted to stay on top of this and work a little faster because I was afraid of forgetting the material when I got the test. I’m getting old! Ha. Thanks for watching and good luck. Feel free to email me if you have any questions.
@@BigLakeLittleBoat my plan is to get thru them then go back thru them a few times!

Way to go bro!! Congratulations!!!

Hey! Thanks Dave!!!
Congrats and welcome to the captains club. I took the same course a few years ago and would recommend it. They really prepare for the exam. Just a note for you, when you send the USCG your docs. do not miss a line or box that should be checked. They will notify you thus causing delays. Again, congrats Captain.
They just received the packet on the day before Christmas eve. Hopefully I dotted the I’s and crossed the T’s. Thank you so much for commenting! Can’t wait to get it!
I too am thinking about my next steps, after retirement, and I think we might be on to something(s). Thanks for sharing the video.
You are welcome. I will be dropping another vid on it in a week or so
GREAT VIDEO.
Thanks E.!!! I wanted to get this posted fast before I forgot anything. Hopefully, it will answer some questions for others.
Main barrier between OUPV and master of inspected vessels is just citizenship. Having the master’s license opens up a lot more job opportunities.
I went ahead and did the Masters as well. Thanks for watching!
Great video indeed. Comgrats Captain and good luck on the next steps
I got it already, Doc! Thanks for commenting! Will be posting a vid soon on the next steps.
@@BigLakeLittleBoat I am starting my study, got the MLS also. But just finished the module 1. Long way to go.
@@DocTrader67 you can do it!

SUNY Maritime grad and tug captain now. Back in the day I started my journey as a mariner with the Mariners Learning System. I went and got my six pack. It actually helped me along with my career. After I graduated there is this purgatory until you actually pass the license exam at the USCG. Because I had a six pack I was able to use that seatime towards my raise in grade for master. Which without the six pack would have been lost time. I highly recommend the program if you are a computer person.
A pro tip: avoid licensitis. Or getting every license and endorsement that you can simply because you qualify. Unless you have a job you want to take that requires a bigger license . Meaning it's going to make you more money, avoid spending the time and money upgrading. The idea is to make the most amount of money with the least amount of license.
Very good advice! I did upgrade to master as well. As soon as I get my MMC, I am going to do an application video. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!! Do you enjoy your working on a tug, Captain?
@@BigLakeLittleBoat I am at the end of my career. The job has it's moments. I learned early on that I cannot work in an office. That's why I am here. I'd rather work here than anywhere else.
@@NYHalfassprepper awesome!
Well I have a twic with my cdl n haz... but its mostly for any port for container moves as well.. but like your content. I to from n.w. ind. So maybe see you out for some koho Easter weekend
Very cool! I am going to be posting another video talking about the timeline and also the checklist and what it took to send into the Coast Guard
Congratulations
Thanks!
Brian, great job on this video…really helpful and honest. What happens if you don’t pass one of the exams..including chart plotting? Can you attempt them again, and within what period of time. Congratulations on your journey Captain!
I believe you can take an individual module again 2 more times. If you fail at least 3 of the modules at once you have to take the whole thing over. I believe you have to take the modules within 3 months and if you flunked more than 3 modules you have a to wait a certain period. Mariners Learning System had an 800 phone number and they always answer within business hours. I called there a few times myself with questions. The USCG NMC has an 800 number as well where you can call and ask questions, too. They are a subcontractor for the USCG, however, but they do a good job as well. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@BigLakeLittleBoatthank you Brian for the reply!

great video! congrats. just wondering, is the chart for the proctored exam the same as the training chart or is it a totally different one.
Yes, it is exactly the same. That is why they send a brand new map with the packet for the exam. Some of the questions are exactly the same but not all of them are.
Awesome thx appreciate it!!

Howdy, I noticed that during my course with MLS, in the chart plotting section, they never taught calculating set & drift. I am about to take the test. Did they remove that from the test? Do you remember having to calculate set & drift at all? Thanks in advance!
Set and drift were not on the test. I wondered that as well. You are good.
@@BigLakeLittleBoatThanks bud! Yeah, I was like crawling through everything and thought they were trying to trick me. Again, thanks -- helpful video!

so - if im hearing you correctly, before each exam, you can close the program and study, then activate each test???
Yes. At least that’s what they let me do when I took it.
@@BigLakeLittleBoat another question - did you plot by creating the little box method? ive been doing a different technique thats been accurate. will they want that on our finished map?
@@SuperPatsyb I’m not sure what the little box method is. I just learned how to do it from mariners. They do want your notes and the map back that you open and use for your exam.
DO NOT get your OUPV if you want to make money......I got my master 25 ton 3 years ago and it was a complete waste of time and money. I live at the beach. The pay sucks, you are promised a bunch of lies and you get no benefits of any kind. I dont plan to renew it.
I am not using it to make money. This was cheap enough to just better myself personally. I actually have updated this to a Masters anyways.
