    I have been waiting to write a positive review. I believe HITA is well organized in all the systems…read moreand the curriculum is well thought out. It involves more than the requirements and one's expectations. I took in-person classes and it was a challenge but I enjoyed it a lot. There were 19 of us in my class and it was great. To me, Professor Hollis' is the best home inspection instructor that I have known in my entire life. His passion for teaching made me eager to learn. To him, time does not go by when he talks about this subject. I would like to be like him. If you are looking for a place to learn, this is the place to be. I would retake these classes a hundred times. What he teaches is priceless. I feel proud to be his student, because now I can say that I learned from the best. Erick Osinaga.

His broad knowledge from being an inspector, and his engaging presentation makes the classes go by before you know it. I can't think of anyone else I would rather have taken the course from. His training is invaluable!

    DIY Academy - Tile, Grout & Thinsets Workshop:  Learning how to cut tile.

    Last year I took the "Tile, Grout, and Thinset" class with the DIY Academy. It was a fantastic…read moreexperience and it gave me the confidence to fix up one of the smaller bathrooms at my house. With my master bathroom repair-and-renovation looming, I wanted to expand my knowledge base more, and Rich and the DIY Academy were once again there to help. Instead of a class, I participated in the volunteering arm of the program and assisted in the demolition and subfloor preparation of an actual master bathroom. It was a whole day of cutting, grinding, smashing, and trashing, but it certainly affirmed the old maxim, "The best way to learn is to do." A lot of times it seems educators in any field see fit to show and tell, but not so here. Rich was always there to supervise and provide support, but it was apparent that he was dedicated to having the student learn by action and not by observation. His methods provided a great blend of experience-based learning and direct instruction. Being able to take part in each process necessary to strip a room down to its bones eliminated two obstacles that scare off most homeowners from attempting to do their own renovation work. First, it removed the mystery of a home's construction: every layer of material holding the old bathroom together could be seen and held. Second, it provided some level of expectation: now having seen how the various surfaces and materials are held together, I know my own bathroom's construction will not be terribly far off. This all works together to establish a sort of baseline muscle memory for the work to be done in the future. This was another great experience with DIY Academy and I hope more such opportunities arise in the future!

    From the owner: DIY Academy is a workshop for the novice DIYer who is interested in learning hands-on skills for…read morevarious home improvement projects and repairs to your increase knowledge base when working with contractors/handymen or to be able to complete a project on your own. We will have workshops that cover various topics such as kitchen backsplash installation, minor plumbing (replacing a toilet, changing out sink hardware, installing a garbage disposal), minor drywall repair, tile floor installation, remodeling a shower, demo of tile / shower, tile installation materials, caulking, grout repair and more! This is an excellent opportunity to learn a new skill from licensed and trained professionals who are in the trades and meet new people and work in a group setting to learn these skills.

    Short Timers or Old Timers flock to this place to get up to speed on their nautical necessities!…read moreWhether it's a Night Time Radar Renewal (which I took and got 100%) or a more extensive Upgrade Program or State Pilot Course...MITAGS as we commonly refer to it is the mariner's premier spot for training. The "Radar Observation Recertification- Night Course" $245.70 + "Facility Fee" $29.00 was a class that started promptly at 4pm and ended before 8pm depending on the speed of your Radar exam plot completion. Most salty mariners feel at home here and you can stay in their hotel at discounted rates especially if you are taking a class, an additional guest will only cost you $40, so choose the wife wisely, but kids under 12 years of age are not going to incur additional cost. The price is reasonable and includes three square meals that are prepared with care by more than just some galley scum but an actual chef who cares! Dining Room is normally open for service Sunday through Saturday on the following schedule: * Breakfast ​ 6:30 AM to 9:00 AM (M-F) * Weekend hours: 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM * Lunch ​​11:15 AM to 2:00 PM * Dinner ​​ 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM Ship pictures of a Merchant Marine heyday adorn the walls throughout the p-ways. So, let the past inspire you to do your best in whatever class you are here to take! Here you can find some of the most exceptional classroom and training spaces for those of us who carry 90% of everything that gets shipped to shores around the world. NO, your milk is not flown in first class to you! I hope you learned something today...I did; that's why I went here...Oh and because I had to!

    Amazing learning center. Best maritime classes in the industry…read more Dinning room is 5-star. Plenty of healthy options. Skip the lodge. Stay in one of the nearby hotels. Only complaint: Fixed pricing. While the dining room is superb, the cost is VERY HIGH. Meals are fixed price per day--you pay for all three meals, even if you only eat one. Lodge is old and in dire need of modernization. Plenty of nearby hotels.
