STAR Center course applications - AMO members and applicants encouraged to enroll as far in advance as possible


STAR Center is experiencing a significant increase in applications for many courses, but particularly those that have a renewal/recurrent requirement. Military Sealift Command (MSC) classes and two-day Basic Training/Advanced Fire Fighting Revalidation classes are usually full, or have very limited capacity, when applying within 30 to 60 days of the class start date.

Wherever possible, American Maritime Officers members and applicants are encouraged to enroll in courses as far ahead as possible. There is usually no problem when applying 60 days or more in advance of a course's start date.

AMO members and applicants who speak with one of the STAR Center registration staff and are told that a class specific class is full are urged to submit an application for that specific class anyway, as only written applications provide the data necessary for STAR Center to add additional capacity for courses.
