Ref: Update on School Reopening Date
Dear Students and Staff,
Training at the MITAGS East and West Coast Campuses will remain suspended through Friday, May 29, 2020. The reopening date of both campuses has been rescheduled for Monday, June 1, 2020. We will continue to monitor changes in government directives.
In the interim, MITAGS is offering a number of online blended courses. New courses are being added regularly. The blended courses will significantly shorten your stay at the campuses. For more information please visit our website (www.mitags.org ) or contact Admissions.
Upon reopening, we will be instituting COVID 19 screening procedures in keeping with all state and federal guidelines. If you will be attending a class in June, please bring a mask and gloves.
In an effort to keep you up to date on the current pandemic and how it is particularly affecting the maritime industry and MITAGS community, we’ve compiled some of the best resources and information we could find. Click here to access our COVID-19 FAQs page.
If you have any additional questions, especially regarding any upcoming training needs, please know that MITAGS is here to help as best we can!
Please contact us via e-mail if you have questions or concerns.

Capt. Kjaerulff promoted to Director of Business Development
Effective January 1, 2021, Capt. Jonathan (Jon) Kjaerulff has assumed the duties of Director of Business Development at MITAGS. Jon succeeds Capt. Bob Becker, who is retiring this year, but will maintain his association with MITAGS as a consultant. With this new promotion, and as a member of the senior management team at MITAGS, Jon’s mission is to identify customer needs and craft solutions in all the areas where MITAGS operates – not just training, but in customized simulation, research and apprenticeship programs. Jon is also helping MITAGS implement new and exciting training and assessment methodologies, such as Digital Learning, Virtual and Augmented Reality. “This is a very exciting and challenging time to be in the training business,” says Jon. “So many basic concepts about how, where and to whom we provide instruction and assessment have changed in the last few months. Our customers demand quality programs that can be delivered more effectively and efficiently, which respect their employees’ time but also enhance their knowledge and safety skills. As the world changes around us, I look forward to helping MITAGS navigate these new, uncharted waters while maintaining our position as the Leader in Maritime Training and Simulation.”
