What’s the best maritime review center?

This is the most common question we got on our Facebook page. We can’t recommend the “best“. However, there can be “most convenient maritime review center” or “the most affordable maritime review center”. These, among other things, can be a criteria for the best maritime review center in the country.

Since the official passing rate of maritime review centers have not been tracked by any government agencies, it is difficult to say which is the best. That data could give us a very concrete evidence of the performance of various maritime review centers in the country.

After transferring the examination process from PRC to MARINA, there have been countless “review centers” popped up left and right. They claim to have the 100% passing rate, which means no failures.

So in selecting the review center is a piece of cake. Then, it is time that you should look for other factors.

What should we look into?

Well, this is not difficult. Since all of them are claiming to be the best, then choosing among them should not be a problem.

First, look for convenience in your part. Is it near and accessible from your location?

Second, compare the prices. Is it affordable to you? You can include all your possible expenses that you may encounter along the way.

Third, word of mouth advertising is still the most effective way to advertise. Ask a friend or a colleague about their experience in their enrolled review center. Strong recommendation from them can be your basis.

Fourth, they have updates from the latest takers and updates the review materials accordingly.

They normally have good customer service, proactive in assisting enrollees in filing for MARINA Theoretical examination, MISMO account creation, among others.
