not really i read the texts and occasionally took a study test put out
by them. but i was working so i did the mailorder route and tested in
seattle when i had enough sea time. most times i was working with
skippers who had more training on ship so i spent time reading all the
books and leaning it in my hands. from this side most of the training
courses look like shuttles to take the test not training to learn the
trade. my way took longer but then most folks dont sail ice either.
