Marine Electrical training - where to go?
Hello - I am very interested in becoming a Marine Electronics
Technician. I have grade 12 and have worked on some electronics on my dads boat. But I want to get a formal education somewhere and become licenced to work on boats of all types. I am prepared to go to school for 2-4 years - so if you have graduated somewhere or know of a good school, I would appreciate your comments. Thanks and have a nice day |

The Marine Institute (Associated with Memorial University in St. John's, Newfoundland) has a wide variety of programs aimed at various seagoing certifications. Ryk |

Consider joining the navy. You will be trained and out at 40. You will
have a pension and a potential 20/25 years of civilian work. |

Ryk The US Coast Guard may be a decent option. You could sign up for 4 years on the condition you get ET "A school" training. Not to start a war here but my understanding is that the Coast Guard training is more relevant to the real world than Navy training and it is more likely you will gain some real hand's on experience as the Coast Guard is orders of magnitude smaller. Beware, my info is dated, as am I. Otherwise, what I am hearing is that many of the local and/or community college electronic tech programs are being phased out due to lack of interest. Otherwise you may want to check out NARTE.ORG (National Association of Radio and Telephone Engineers) and see if they have any recommendations and/or the AARL American Amateur Radio League or the equivalent in your locale. |
