Your Instructor
Marine Electrical & Electronics Instructor
Dave created the MECO MET programme from more than two decades of professional marine training and technical experience. The focus is simple: take complex marine electrical and electronics systems and make them understandable, practical and usable in the real world.
ABYC Standards
MECO MET 1 and MET 2 courses are developed in accordance with ABYC E-11 Marine Electrical Standards, while MECO MET 4 is based on ABYC E-13 standards.
The American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC) is a non-profit organisation that develops internationally recognised marine safety standards. As an ABYC member, MECO Training is committed to delivering training that reflects current industry best practice.
ISO Standards
MECO MET 1 and MET 2 courses are developed in accordance with BS EN ISO 13297 + Amendment 1:2022 (Small Craft – DC and AC Electrical Systems). MECO MET 4 is based on BS EN ISO 23625:2025 (Lithium-ion Battery Installations).
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) develops globally recognised standards that promote safety, quality, and consistency. By aligning our courses with these standards, MECO Training ensures learners receive training that reflects current international best practice.
CPD Accreditation
Every MECO course is independently reviewed and accredited by the CPD Certification Service.
The Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Certification Service independently assesses training providers to ensure their courses meet recognised standards of quality and educational value. As a CPD-accredited training provider, MECO Training is committed to delivering professionally developed courses that have been independently assessed for content, instruction, assessment, and educational integrity.
A Multi-Standard Approach
Unlike many training providers that focus on a single standard, MECO Training teaches the principles and requirements of multiple internationally recognised marine standards. This enables learners to understand where standards align, where they differ, and how to apply them correctly in real-world situations.
In practice, many vessels are subject to more than one standard. For example, a vessel under 24 metres fitted with a three-phase shore power system and modern NMEA 2000® electronics may require compliance with ISO, IEC, and NMEAstandards simultaneously. Understanding how these standards interact is an essential skill for today's marine technicians.
