For the aspiring company officers. Come with us on a fantastic educational journey where you will receive “depth” of instruction to improve your knowledge, skill sets, and abilities as a company officer.
Ask those who have taken the terrible company officer courses from training companies whose primary focus is to read the PowerPoint slides and you learn absolutely nothing about the job. You get a certificate, but not the necessary knowledge required to do the job well.
