Great video! Most people that go for original issue sign up for and take a course first just to learn about the application process AFTER the fact. The best advice here is to prepare and submit your application FIRST and then turn your full attention to taking a course. Also experienced conslutants certainly make the application process smoother. Great job USCT!

Hey sir I just wanted to thank you for all ur video’s . I passed my captain course last week
Thank you so much. 🥰
I have a big bday coming up in May. Everyone wants me to have a bday party but I would rather spend the money to build the foundation towards my dreams
Thank you for posting this video! You provided a great roadmap to follow. I have been fumbling around different sites, trying to get a straight answer on what is required in order to obtain a OUPV 6-Pack license. Is there a requirement for a minimum number of days on the water logged as part of the application process? I thought I read somewhere that the Coast Guard expects an applicant to provide record of 365 days on the water. Maybe I misread something?
cheers mate. Just finished up the training modules.. one more season of sea time needed then I will follow this advice ..
Good advice. Thanx.
im 16 and im trying to get all the stuff i need to start im about to turn 17 and looking forward to being a charter caption
welcome back to posting!
Sir please make a video principal of navigation theory
I have a notary friend would they do the 1st part maybe
Great Video! Quick question, would sea time from different countries be valid for the application? I sailed for many years in Brazil when I was 16 - 20 years old and was wondering if that would count for sea time. Cheers!
You should be able to use sea service from all over the world. It might make the application a bit more challenging but you can get it! If you want a phenomenal consultant get a hold of Diamond Marine Services. diamondmarineservices.com/web/credentialconsulting/cc-detail
I am a Federal Employee. Do I still have to have the background check, I have a CPR/ First Aid Current credentials as required. I don't remember the last time I was selected for the Random Drug test. Can I use these credentials to skip some of these costs?
Hi Dwight,
You would think so but the USCG is very picky when it comes to checking boxes. You need to apply for a TWIC card through TSA.
As far as CPR & First Aid goes, it must be a USCG approved course. Some are and some are not.

Would a 16 boat with a tiller motor count for sea service?
Yes.
Hey Captain, do you think it’s ok to complete 0:54 the theoretical course first and then use the consultation from diamond marine . I’m not in a time crunch so have no problem waiting, but still want the highest license possible… thanks for the videos, best Rasmus
Yeah, you can do the course and then the application. You have one year from the date of issuance on the USCG Approved Course Completion Certificate to use it or it expires. For some folks the application is more challenging than the course and they fail to use the Course Completion Certificate within the year.
How long do I have after I earn my Certificate of Training to get the rest of the essentials to the USCG for my MM credentials? Meaning physical, Sea Serv. TWIC,dug test etc.
You have one year from the date of issuance to get the Certificate to the USCG with your application packet.
@@uscaptainstraining thank you!
Glad to help!
If I’m partially colorblind will it affect me? Some of the tests I can see and some I cannot.
It is possible that the USCG will put a daytime restriction on your license but it is still possible to get it. I highly recommend using an application consultant to help you through the process and make sure you get the best license for which you qualify.
Diamond Marine Services is phenomenal!

Is a Captains license needed for any vessel over 26', or just anything over 26' that is for commercial use?
I've been out on the great lakes several times in my old 18' Bayliner. But I'm considering doing the Great loop, possibly in a 30'+ catamaran. Would I need the license for that, or just training?
You only need a Captain's License if you take paying passengers. You can take a boat around the Great Loop, no problem.
Is this the same process to get your license to be a cruise ship officer/captain? How can I achieve that?
That takes a lifetime of experience.
Is your program approved by the GI bill?
We don't have much experience navigating that process. Do you have any pointers?
Yeah the application sucks. I followed all your videos and was able to do it on my own with only a few things that had to be corrected
Hey does anybody know if felonies disqualify you?
Some do, some don't. You want to contact Diamond Marine Services and hire them to help you out with these questions before taking a class. diamondmarineservices.com/web/credentialconsulting/cc-detail

Hello. I am from Turkey and currently in the USA. I have unlimited oceangoing watchkeeping officer license but I get this one from Turkish authorities after graduating from maritime faculty in Turkey. I have Portugal and Marshall Islands endorsements also and I worked near 2 years at the sea as a 2nd mate and 3rd mate. Can I have restricted master license here or what will be procedures to get in the USA? Should I be an US citizen?
I don’t really get why you rounded anything. If anything, you rounded the OUPV differently than the Masters. Basically, there should be an even $200 difference between them. But at some point you rounded the OUPV higher than the Masters. Just don’t round. It isn’t necessary. Also, your pitch for why I should pay $300 additional for a consultant is that I don’t screw up the paperwork? Really? is that it?
I was on a vessel this weekend speaking to the captain about taking a master class in person, he said most ppl over look it but it's wise to pay the "prep" fee so you don't wait months only to get it returned because it was missing something silly. I'm just starting the process, by no means an expert. But that's what a captain I trust told me.
I'm sure not everyone needs one, but this instructor is saying the same thing I was told by a pro that had no monetary reason to convince me to
Drug test- do scripts count against you? Or are they looking for just illegal drugs
There are rules out there concerning scripts. I would highly recommend contacting Diamond Marine Services for definite answers to this question. They are the best! diamondmarineservices.com/web/credentialconsulting/cc-detail
You lost me after the 6th time you said consultant. It is cheesy
Your right. I should remake this video. I made another version where I only said consultant once. It is on the channel.
@@uscaptainstraining Proved the point of the consultants value. Thanks for Reitterating for us! Your content is great! I will be using Diamond.
@@loganwashle6832 Thank you Logan,
It makes the process much more enjoyable and you get more out of it in the long run!
So when you say "You lost me after the 6th time", does that mean you shut off the video and went back to your Facebook friends and came back here to make your comment after the video was done? Or did you continue with the video but didn't really pay attention (cause you were lost) and surfed porn on your IPhone while this video played in the background?
Just asking for a friend.
