The Landing School
http://www.thelandingschool.org/ in Kennebunkport, ME
offers courses in boatbuilding, design and systems. They are reported to do
a very good job at preparing people for actual employment in the marine
business,
The Woodenboat School offers 1 and 2 week courses in boatbuilding and
seamanship subjects. Kinda like summer camp for adults. It's a very nice
experience, but hardly professional training.

Thanks for that info. I have a request for some other info if anyone
could help me out. I looked at this school the other day in Rhode
Island called the International Yacht Restoration School. www.iyrs.org
It's a nice school but I'm also looking at this program with Chapman
called the Professional Mariner Training program. It's 12 weeks and I
believe the campus is down in Florida.
Here's a school in Maine that I have visited several times and seems
to run a first rate program:
