    What sort of reputation does Westlawn have in the naval design industry?

    Thanks

    They have an excellent reputation. Many industry people have taken the course. Take a look at this list. http://www.westlawn.edu/who/success.asp I know many of these people, as well as others who have taken the course who aren't on this list. I highly recommend it.

    How do you know that? Either way, it still has a good rep. I first heard about it over 30 years ago when I was working in a shipyard. One of the Naval Architects recommended Westlawn.

    Too bad it's not in Stamford CT any more.

    Thanks Ike

    Not quite sure where he was getting Warship...whatever. I do appreciate your advice. It sounds like you've been in the industry for quite some time? Thanks again!
