Marine Service
The Marine Service Technology program offers many opportunities for students to find their interests in one or more skill sets in the field of marine systems. The course is designed to teach the necessary theoretical and practical skills to prepare and educate individuals to become competent marine technicians with career readiness skills and an aptitude for the industry. Students will gain the ability to diagnose, repair, install and rebuild multiple marine systems, inboard and outboard engines, diesel engines, AC & DC electrical, marine electronics and composite boat building and repair. Partnerships with local boatyards provide students with valuable hands-on experience in the industry. Each section of the program includes a large portion of shop time in order to strengthen the student’s hands-on skills. All Certification tests are optional and not graded as part of the curriculum. Students who complete the program can further their education or enter into the workforce as a boatyard technician, boat builder, small engine mechanic and more.
