Mountwest Maritime Academy

The Mountwest Maritime Academy provides
U.S. Coast Guard-approved maritime training for
various levels of the river industry from entry-level Deckhands, those with experience ready
to become Steersmen, and seasoned mariners
wanting to expand their qualifications.

The Academy uses simulators for both Steersman and Radar certifications to enhance the traditional learning experience. The simulators educate students in practical situations. Student responses are then evaluated and compared to industry standards and regulations.

The Academy has been serving the needs of the river industry since 2001.
