///MARSEC Corp. has been serving and training CSO/VSO/ & FSO’s in the United States for over 20 years! When the pandemic shut down all face to face interactions, we decided it was time to pivot to a virtual training platform. Our goal – to deliver the same level of expert instruction, to trainees across multiple time zones, while maintaining Coast Guard requirements that ensured the integrity and accuracy of final exam results. After weeks of research and diligence, Marsec Corporation was one of the first companies to receive APPROVAL from the USCG for 100% Virtual/Remote Training AND Examination. Our secure virtual learning platform allows trainee’s from wherever they are in the world to receive the training they need WHEN they need it – without having to spend a dime on travel fees or missing any extra days of work to account for said travel.
The following courses are ALL derivatives of our USCG -Approved Vessel, Company, and Facility Security Officer Course.(MASSHA-578)
