Curtis, I used a class-room based approach to getting my CG license and would highly recommend that method. Technically you don’t really need to take any lessons or classes. Simply show up and take the test with the Coast Guard.
Given how tough it was to pass the test after extensive class-room sessions I’m certain that taking the test without any intensive instruction would have been laughably bad. Actually, horrible would be a better term... You’ll learn quite a bit in the classes. Also, if you do take a classroom approach make sure that the provider is authorized by the Coast Guard to give the test at the end of class. That alone makes a big difference. Along with final testing, the service I used provided class members with the physical and drug tests. Another couple of items that you will need in order to get your license.
