Safer Ocean Systems - Vancouver

Just finished the SVOP course. A knowledgeable team with a friendly attitude. The Instructor's examples, stories, and case studies really helped all the information sink in. It was a great experience and I will be recommending your business to any of my peers that require training.

I have completed the SVOP and the SDVBS training for Commercial Marine operation to comply with Transport Canada. This was all completed online and worked well even from Ontario. Navigated all the requirements of online training, testing and video provisions for the practical aspects. Thank you all for the amazing training and experience, highly recommended.

I’ve now done two courses with SOS, both of which were online. Both instructors I had made the online course enjoyable and engaging, which can be quite difficult to do with online study. I’m excited to see how much different an in person class will be for my next course! I highly recommend SOS for your marine courses!

I recently chose to take my SVOP training through Safer Ocean Systems. This is a classroom-based course for folks wishing to operate small commercial vessels, and covers topics ranging from collision regulations to basic navigation and chartwork. This can be a lot to digest, especially for anyone with limited previous knowledge or experience in the field. I had previously heard good things about the school and instructors, and Ryan did not disappoint. He is clearly very passionate about being on the water and covered all topics in great detail, while still taking the extra time to explain anything that students may have been struggling with. Highly recommend!

Took the DVS course with Ryan. He’s a great instructor and doesn’t drone on like other schools. I learned a lot and am looking forward to completing my 60 Ton with SOS!
