American Marine Training Centers is a United States Coast Guard approved training facility located on Bethel Island, in the Heart of the California Delta, and just a short drive from either the Bay Area or Sacramento.  AMTC specializes in lower level deck licenses including Master, not more than 100 Tons and OUPV (Six-Pack).  We offer many other courses that are listed on our COURSES page.  We are continually adding new courses.

     In all of our courses the student will test at our location, using our U.S. Coast Guard Approved exams.  This relieves the student of having to test at the Coast Guard’s Regional Exam Center.  In addition, we will assist you in preparing your paperwork so that it is ready to present to the Coast Guard.  We will work with you every step of the way in getting your license.

     We have a state of the art, permanent training facility and offer a dedicated learning environment.  We supply all the materials needed for the course so that the student can concentrate on learning.  We ask that the students show up for the courses with a positive attitude and a willingness to learn.

     AMTC instructors not only have a thorough knowledge and understanding of the material, they have also worked in the Maritime Industry.  Each of our instructors have twenty years or more of experience.  All of our instructors have prior teaching experience in the Coast Guard or the Maritime Industry.

     Whether you wish to run a small charter fishing boat (six-pack) or a large dinner cruise ship, if you are serious about getting your captain's license, American Marine Training Centers is the right place for you.  At AMTC our goal is to produce the finest trained, licensed captains on the water.  If you are interested in obtaining your captain's license, contact us today!
