The Friday session is scheduled form 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM and the Saturday session is scheduled from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Both sessions will be conducted at the Robertson Building, Room 115 on the UAS campus, 600 Stedman Street.

This workshop is USCG-accepted, open to all mariners, and recommended for captains and crew serving on any commercial vessel. The workshop meets the training requirements for commercial fishermen operating on documented vessels beyond the federal boundary line.
