Marine Engineering Program
Learn about the best Marine Engineering Program
How do the Courses Work?
All the courses are entirely online. If you check the content of any course, all the courses are available at any time to start at your convenience.
As soon as you enroll you will receive an invitation to access our learning platform well the Syllabus of the course and the textbook in a PDF form.
You can start to course according to your work schedule. This program does not require a direct connection with your instructor, this is because the course follows the textbook chapter by chapter according to episodes in each chapter.
At the end of each chapter, you should solve a quiz and at the end of the course, you can take the final exam. Each chapter is accomplished with a Lab that you can develop by yourself in your Boat or your home, whit the proctor of Mr. Lopez through a Video Conference that will be scheduled once per week.
If you live in Broward County, you can attend in person to take Laboratories with Mr. Lopez each Saturday during the Morning.
