So you’re thinking of starting a career as a Commercial Diver?
Well you’ve started your search for training in the right place.
The Minnesota Commercial Diver Training Center, Inc. (MCDTC) is a well-established and respected facility in Brainerd, that has trained some of the best divers in the country. We pride ourselves on being able to move our students through training in the shortest allowed amount of time possible, so that our graduates can enter the working world of commercial diving quickly.
Due to MCDTC location in the heart of Minnesota, courses are only offered three times a year; spanning the months of March through November. Each course is eleven weeks long, six days a day, and ten hours a day. Please note that the start dates of each course change from year to year. The 2016 schedule is as follows:
MCDTC 2016 Course Schedule
First Class: March 14th - May 28th
Second Class: May 30th - August 13th
Third Class: August 15th - October 29th
