What others have to say?

"After already spending 14 weeks away from home on various courses in 2020, taking the traditional SRL path was not going to be conducive to my family life! Jason and CBE offered a fantastic solution in the form of CIDMO. I was able to chip away at the various modules at my own pace from the comfort of my own home with exceptional support from the Course Director and my Mentor. I highly recommend this path for anyone who is serious about getting into the commercial marine sector.
