Acquisition Opportunity Compass Courses was acquired by Maritime Institute in November 2024, indicating a strategic move that could enable integrated maritime training offerings and cross selling to Maritime Institute's existing client base. This creates potential for joint marketing, bundled trainings, and access to a larger sales channel.

Partnership Potential With an ultra small team and revenue under a million dollars, Compass Courses is well positioned to scale through channel partnerships or by leveraging the Maritime Institute sales organization. Targeting partnerships with ports, shipyards, or regional training providers could accelerate growth.

Regional Advantage Located in Edmonds, Washington near Puget Sound, the company sits in a dense maritime ecosystem, offering proximity to regional operators and training customers on the West Coast.

Tech & Delivery The technology stack indicates readiness for scalable online delivery and secure content management, including HTTP/3, Nginx, Sucuri security, Microsoft 365, and web services for analytics and compliance.

Curriculum Growth There is opportunity to expand by offering safety, regulatory compliance, and operations training for maritime employers, leveraging the Maritime Institute network for rapid adoption and channel expansion.
