World Wide Marine Training, founded by Captain Walker, offers U.S. Coast Guard approved courses and testing.

We are sad to report that Larry died Thursday, December 2, 2010. There are many wonderful tributes to Larry on www.towndock.net. Larry’s wishes were that WWMT should continue. His staff will carry on with scheduled courses. Our classes are held at several locations throughout North Carolina. We give the test in the same classroom that our class is held– you don’t have to test at a U.S.C.G. facility.

We train active duty USN Sailors, active duty US Marines, civilian employees of the USN and USMC, employees of the Army Corps of Engineers, employees of the NC Ferry System and employees of the YMCA sailing camps in NC and Virginia.
