Marine Electronics Training Course
Industry recognised Gold Standard level for Marine Electrical and Electronics Technicians. Ideal for trainee marine electricians, engineers, boat owners, and yacht crew. No previous experience required, this package includes all 3 levels.
The MET 3 package allows you to achieve entry level technician certification with the MET 1 and MET 2 elements whilst you build instructor guided practical competence in parallel with your MET 3 studies. This allows you to learn the more complex areas 'in context' and make better use of instructor resources by referencing real case studies.
Comprehensive Electrical & Electronics Training
The Full MET 3 Master Pro includes all levels, all exams, and full instructor support required to achieve the Gold Standard: MET 3 Professional Marine Electrical & Electronics Master Technician Certification.
MET 1 (included)
Course Overview
The MET 1 course is aimed at beginners and as such requires no pre course knowledge. You will start from the basics of how electricity behaves in a circuit and then discover how to apply this to the marine electrical system in a step by step series of easy to follow animations.
Ability after the course
By the end of the MECO MET 1 course you will have a solid foundation in marine electrics and be able to identify, prevent, and fix minor faults or hazards on a basic electrical system.
For those seeking to work in the industry, MECO MET 1 is the minimum standard required for trainee marine electricians, however as part of this package we recommend that you dive straight into the MET 2 course as soon as possible.
Course Duration
Whilst it is possible to complete the course in 1 day, we recommend a few days with a little study each day. You have lifetime access so there's no rush. Many learners refer back to the course as situations present themselves in practical applications, often the material makes more sense once it has a real life case study to form a frame of reference.
MET 2 (Included)
Course Overview
The MET 2 delves into more complex areas of the marine electrical systems found on well equipped yachts and workboats up to 24m. You will revisit some of the elements of MET 1 in more detail, and learn new areas such as Alternating current, solar power, inverters, water makers, galvanic and stray current corrosion, and much more.
Ability after the course
Upon completion you will understand more complex marine electrical systems to a professional level. For those seeking work as a marine electrician - the MET 2 course covers all the knowledge you need and more to build your practical skills, and gain in-field experience.
Course Duration
it is possible to complete the MET 2 Module in 2 days however 5 days with less study time each day is recommended. There are no time limits. It is important to revisit the course from time to time, especially as you build practical experience, support is still available after you complete the course so you can seek help applying the course material to a real world example.
MET 3 (Included)
Course Overview
The MECO Level 3 online marine electronics course focuses only on the intricacies of marine Electronics systems, such as data networks, radio communications, navigation and radar systems, and digital switching found on most well equipped yachts. The course follows industry recognised practices in addition is aligned with NMEA 0400 standards.
Ability after the course
After the MET 3 course you will have a detailed understanding of data networks, radio systems, engine gateways and more. You'll be able to work in accordance with international NMEA standards. This is the highest level of marine electronics training available online and is industry recognised worldwide.
Course Duration
Whilst it is possible to complete in 5 days, you have access for life, It is also the type of course that will need a revisit from time to time as regulations, standards, and technology are constantly changing, but also there is simply too much to remember! Part of becoming a certified technician is knowing where to find the information, and this course is a great resource after completion.
Aligned with all recognised standards worldwide
Still unsure which standards to follow? We couldn't decide either, so we did the lot!
Unlike land-based electrical standards, marine electrical standards must follow those of the original vessel design from the country the boat was built for. This can cause practical issues with shore power specifications and confusion among skippers and local technicians.
We teach in alignment with all the standards to highlight the important differences. We constantly reference our training to ensure it aligns with the listed standards. If a vessel is built to a standard, it will be one of those listed here.

Learner focused experience from day 1
We endeavour to provide excellence in every step of the process, from initial enrolment to in-field support. Here are the top 5 features our learners love about this package.
1. Efficiency: Within a few minutes, I'd learnt more than I had with hours of books and YouTube videos.
2. Support: All my questions were answered quickly so I guess the support is what I loved most.
3. Confidence: The course fees seemed good, the 30-day guarantee gave me reassurance to enrol.
4. Structure: Managed to get paid work experience with MET 2 whilst working on the MET 3.
5. Engagement: I love the no-nonsense lessons, I was learning tricky subjects without even noticing.
