About Us
MTC Maritime Training Center offers an array of U.S. Coast Guard approved and STCW training courses. Such as Captains License Courses, Able Seaman Courses, Vessel Security Officer Course, Apprentice Mate Steersman, and more.
Trusted Instructors
Our instructors were hand selected based on their experience, patience, and knowledge. They went through rigorous instructor training to be approved by the U.S. Coast Guard. They also must continue to keep up with the standards set out by our policy. They are graded along with the students, to ensure they are keeping with our Quality Standards System, and the Maritime Education Industry’s best practices.


Jamie Shaffer
General Manager
Capt. Jamie Shaffer started his Maritime career in 2002, working as a deckhand for a local casino boat. He then worked his way up to a 100 ton Master in 2005. That same year, right after Hurricane Katrina, Capt. Shaffer went to work offshore in the Oil and Gas industry out of Louisiana. Which is where he stayed, working his way from 100GT to 200GT and in 2014 up to a 3000GT Master with Dynamic Positioning Unlimited, and Master of Towing. Jamie has a passion for the Maritime Industry. “It has been such a rewarding career and has given me the confidence and knowledge to reach my potential”. In late 2016, Jamie found his other passion, Teaching.
“I have been blessed with opportunities in this industry and now my passion has shifted to help other people realize their potential.”
TRAININGS COVERED
Capt. Shaffer has been approved to teach over 30 Maritime Courses, and also writes U.S. Coast Guard approved courses.
Our Commitment
The student experience is critically important to the long term success of MTC Maritime Training Center.
We will never mislead a student into taking a course he/she doesn’t need just to make a buck! There is no place for that in this business. Your experience here will be that of a comfortable learning environment. Our instructors are very knowledgeable, patient, professionals that typically have more than 15 years of real-world experience working as Masters or Chief Engineers in the Maritime Field.
