Testimonials
“Capt. Nolan Dsouza blends exceptional professional clarity with a calm, structured approach that transforms how you think about oral assessments and shipboard decision-making. Sailing with him as Master in 2023, I saw firsthand his uncompromising ‘by-the-book’ professionalism, steady leadership, and ability to handle pressure with precision—standards that naturally elevate everyone around him.
His coaching during my DG Shipping Chief Mate (FG) orals shifted me from tentativeness to confident, principled action. He brought practical structure, clear reasoning, and the confidence to stand by what is right. The strategies he shared and the mindset he helped cultivate played a major role in my preparation.
For anyone feeling weighed down during oral exam preparation, Capt. Nolan offers not just expertise, but the rare ability to build self-belief, discipline, and a professional attitude that stays with you long after the exam.”

Rank: Chief Officer
"The navigation and seamanship training was instrumental in advancing my career as a deck officer. The hands-on experience was invaluable in preparing me for real-world challenges."
“Capt. Nolan Dsouza doesn’t just teach professionalism—he defines it. Working with him as a first-time Chief Officer completely reshaped how I approached leadership, responsibility, and shipboard decision-making. He set a benchmark of discipline, clarity, and true ‘by-the-book’ standards that every officer should aspire to.
His coaching took me from uncertainty to operating with confidence, precision, and a deep sense of accountability. The way he breaks down complex situations into clear, structured thinking became a cornerstone of my preparation for the Master’s rank.
​
For any newly promoted Chief Officer stepping into higher responsibilities, Capt. Nolan offers far more than guidance. He instills belief, builds structure, and crafts the mindset required to excel. He doesn’t just prepare you for the Master’s exam—he prepares you for the Master’s chair.”
