Martin lnternational's Training Center: The Ideal Location

In 1998, Martin International completed construction of its training facility in LaPlace, Louisiana. This site was selected because it is located:

• At the intersection of I-10 (Exit 209) and I-55 (Exit 1).
• Within blocks of the Hampton Inn and Best Western. (We have negotiated very reasonable rates with these hotels to provide accommodations for the majority of our students.)
• 20 minutes away from New Orleans International Airport via I‑10.
• Near several service stations.
• Near several restaurants, including full service and fast food.

Our building was designed from the ground up as a multi-purpose maritime training facility. In addition to ample reception, office and work spaces, we have five classrooms for 20+ students each, two of which can be opened up to make a much larger meeting space. In 2005, we purchased an adjacent 4,000 square foot building for classroom expansion.
