We apply lessons from the past to challenges of the future to which propel to success ensuring our customers remain in the “winner’s circle.”
Culture
Sea School was founded in 1977, however, each of our key officers has been a “founder” within their own area of expertise. Just as we have built our school, one course at a time, we have built our team one person at a time.
Shortly after founding Sea School, Ron Wahl invited Robert L. Arnold, current Executive Director, to join him in creating a “new breed” of maritime training school. Together, they set out to design a school for the “next generation” of mariners capable of operating highly sophisticated vessels of the future. Over the years, they have been instrumental in assembling a management team to operate a growing fleet of schools currently with $1.3 million in new programs alone.
Sea School’s technical team is comprised of individuals with extensive experience designing and constructing marine programs all over the world. Their backgrounds include naval architecture, engineering, safety, ship-handling and repair, project management, military service and maritime academy training.
Sea School’s executive team - VP Ken Wahl - is made up of individuals who had advised the company in the past and met the standards of character, chemistry, credentials and competence. Each of these professionals brought their own unique blend of skill sets to become “founders” of their respective departments.
Today, we are well equipped to handle the increased demands on USCG compliant companies. Our teams have years of experience in business and information systems, safety consulting and marine transportation.
Whether a client seeking to become a captain or needs an entire program created to train shipboard staff, Sea School is ready to help. We can assist with marine operations, maritime business development, boating safety, engineering, construction, maintenance, risk management, human resources, purchasing, accounting, legal or IT. In short, we are a team made up of like-minded individuals who have built a state-of-the-art Company from the keel up, and we do the same for our clients.
Entrepreneurial Culture
Sea School has one of the largest fleets of new-generation marine training facilities along with the most talented staff in the industry. With nearly 40 years of experience, Sea School’s senior management has demonstrated a knowledge to succeed in business and set a course for others to follow. Our management, systems, and philosophy, are all designed to empower our employees with a sense of ownership. This approach has consistently resulted in growth and financial returns well above our industry-peers. Together, we have developed an entrepreneurial culture that pervades every aspect of our operation with an unprecedented level of energy and enthusiasm.
