Welcome to CAPTAIN JOE'S DECK LICENSE PROGRAM

Dear Student,

Welcome to Captain Joe's Deck License Program website, the Premier USCG Examination Test Preparation Site for the Merchant Marine. The help you need to prepare for your next upgrade level of United States Coast Guard Deck License, and much more, is contained in this website. You will find the information you need to make proper decisions about the future of your sea career - (the next exam to sit for, what exam material you should study, what Marine Publications you should buy, how much seatime you need, could you switch from one type of industry to another).

You will be able to purchase the CD for the Deck Upgrade License you are sitting for. And if you need to put your spare time on board ship to study, then you must purchase my 10 Study Guide Manuals. The Manuals are an invaluable study guide to help in your upgrade exam program.

There are a number of Govermental publications that are to be used in conjunction with your Manuals (Nautical Almanac, Tide Tables, Light Lists). All these Marine Publications are also available for purchase.

Having worked in the Merchant Marine for the past 34 years, I have been a deep-sea Captain since 1984 mostly sailing on Tankers, OBOs, LNG, Ro-Ro and container vessels. In 1998 I started teaching at the prestigious STAR CENTER in Dania Beach, Florida, one of the premier maritime schools in the world, creating the USCG-approved IBS (Integrated Bridge Systems) 2-week Simulator Course for the cruise industry, and have taught all the STCW courses, including Bridge Resource Management, Advanced Shiphandling for Masters and Dynamic Positioning Systems. I am also a Member of MERPAC (Merchant Marine Personnel Advisory Committee to the United States Coast Guard), a Committee which provides recommendations to the Coast Guard about matters related to Licensing of Mariners.

I have put every bit of nautical knowledge that I have gleaned over the years into my Deck License Program, constantly improving it to cater to the requests of my upgrade students. The biggest advantage of my Deck License Program is that I have individually worked out the solutions to EVERY single problem in the entire USCG Deck License Databank! I know that you will like Captain Joe's DECK LICENSE PROGRAM. Gone are the days when you have to slave over an answer, wasting precious study time trying to figure out where you went wrong, or how to go about solving a problem. You will save many hours of wasted effort, putting your precious time to better use.

Captain Joe's Note: Most of what is contained in this website is taken directly from the USCG websites and publications, the CFRs, and other authoritative and Governmental texts, and is presented here in an altered manner in an effort to assist the student in understanding and clarifying certain topics.
