William Battle
Mr. Ron and his stuff were GREAT ! WONDERFUL I recommend everyone to come!
Cin's Corner
Please read this review. If you are not for sure that you’re going to go through with this school, DO NOT send these people your money. IF you ask for a refund, they are going to play with your money and not give you your money back in a timely fashion. They will tell you what they have to do to give you your refund but they will NOT be transparent about giving you your money back and it is completely sad. You will NOT get follow up emails on time about your money. A few of the women that I spoke with act as if you’re asking them to pay you your money back out of their own pockets. You will NOT get calls back or emails back showing transparency. I have the emails to show ANYONE who wants to view them as proof. I asked for a refund on September 4th. Today is September 23rd and all I got is a pending deposit for $200 when I gave them $600 before I changed my mind. This is a big company with sites on the east and west coast… how does it take this long to refund my money? Its ridiculous! Bad Business with these people if you change your mind.

I took my OICEW courses at MAMA this year and it was a good experience. They online courses were a blessing (saved on hotel costs) and they will work with your schedule in many ways.
George Lassiter
I'm taking the AB to 3rd and 2nd course. At the moment I'm halfway through the course. The instructors are great. Plus The administrative team really try to work around your schedule. I fully recommend MAMA for any Hawsepiper trying to upgrade their MMC.

Mid-Atlantic Maritime Academy gave me a great week of instruction for my STCW certification. The staff is friendly and professional. My only criticism is the breakroom coffee.

Andy Ackerman
Super easy people to get along with. Very knowledgeable in their field.
Adam Dobbins
I've taken several classes with MAMA throughout the years. The facilities, instructors, support, and curriculum are always spot on. They teach and supply information in a clear and concise way for students to grasp the information and go to work safely to return to their families as well as adhere to all USCG mandates and requirements.
Charles Robertson
Always have had a outstanding opinion of the Academy. The instructors are seasoned professionals, with decades of experience and expertise. Additionally, it’s a fun atmosphere, where the instructors take their job seriously, but don’t take themselves seriously. No attitude,
just information and education.Paul Nevins
Always good to work with, give 4 vs 5 stars as I got spoiled with big fire fighting fields vs smaller ones. Their approach does work, just the burns are smaller ones in container cross connected to make a basic format to work with. Is enclosed to give the feel of ally space vs "open burns only" - so it does work. Other aspects were good and well managed. Reasonably priced. Not far from the airport (hotel shuttle pickup and some have shuttle to the school too. Car is handy but not required. Can jog to the school from hotels.

Great instructors, reasonable prices. I attended to renew my BST and ended up taking some other courses while there.

Mid-Atlantic Maritime Academy is incredible! I cannot imagine a more professional and technologically advanced maritime school. They have a bridge simulator that is so real you can get seasick on it!
Captain Ed retired from 30 years of service on the USNS Comfort and decided to usher in the next generation of mariners. They really care to deliver the highest quality of training to keep everybody as safe as possible at sea.
I highly recommend Mid-Atlantic Maritime Academy.#THE JFAMILY VLOG
Good school I learn a lot shout out to my teachers who are focus to us and making sure we will learn something to it.. :)
William Self
They don't offer many opportunities and don't teach you much . I was in the 2017 class it seemed like all the females got more opportunities than the dudes . Waste of time plus couldn't focus in class alot of classroom disruptions and the lady Janice has a nasty attitude .
