From electrical basics to electronics.
Understand how your onboard electronics work together.
Build knowledge of navigation, communications and data systems.
Progress from electrical foundations into electronics and network diagnostics.
What's included
Build your skills from beginner to advanced with one training package. Including: fault finding, inspection, installation and maintenance of Marine Electrical and Electronics systems on Small craft, yachts, and commercial vessels up to 50m. Package includes MET 1, 2 & 3.
One package for life
For anyone new to the topic learning within 4 different standards based on systems, vessel sizes, and countries can lead to repetitive training courses from multiple providers, and a few years later you need to renew everything all over agin! MECO has addressed both these issues with a comprehensive one-stop solution with lifetime access. This saves our trainees time, effort and money.
With the MET 3 Master Pro - Boat & Yacht Electronics training package you start with the fundamentals of electricity within the MET 1 and 2 level - and build from these basics step by step. Before you know it you'll have a highly detailed knowledge of marine electronics systems.
The MET 3 module dives into every tiny detail about how marine electronics source, convert and distribute information via the vast array of marine data networks - including the most detailed study of NMEA 2000 available online today.
Ideal for trainee marine electricians, engineers, boat owners, and yacht crew of vessels from 5m to 50m.
MET 3 · Standards in practice
Marine work draws on standards for electrical installations, lithium batteries and electronics. These organisations have different roles; the right reference depends on the vessel, system and project.
American Boat & Yacht Council
Standards for boat design, construction, repair and maintenance. Learn to connect installation decisions with the relevant requirements for the vessel and work being undertaken.
Explore ABYC references ↗
International Organization for Standardization
Examples include ISO 13297 for AC/DC electrical installations and ISO 23625 for lithium-ion batteries. Practise identifying the scope and applicable edition before using a requirement.
Explore ISO references ↗
National Marine Electronics Association
NMEA 0183, NMEA 2000 and OneNet address marine data interfaces; NMEA 0400 addresses electronics installation. Understand how equipment, cabling and networks fit together.
Explore NMEA references ↗
International Electrotechnical Commission
The IEC 60092 series covers shipboard electrical installations, with Part 507 addressing small vessels. Learn why vessel type and system scope matter when selecting a reference.
Explore IEC references ↗Across the MET 3 package, develop the habit of checking scope, finding the relevant requirement and documenting how it applies. Case studies help you connect electrical and electronics knowledge with the process of finding and applying relevant standards.

THE COMPLETE MET 3 MASTER PRO PROGRAMME
Start with electrical fundamentals, progress into more complex marine electrical systems, then explore marine electronics and connected networks. MET 1, MET 2 and MET 3 are all included.
LEVEL 01 · MET 1
Start from the basics of how electricity behaves in a circuit, then apply that knowledge to onboard electrical systems through step-by-step explanations and animations. No previous electrical knowledge is required.
A grounding in marine electrics for owners, crew and aspiring technicians, with the knowledge to progress into MET 2 and build practical experience.
LEVEL 02 · MET 2
Build on MET 1 with a closer look at the more complex marine electrical systems found on well-equipped yachts and workboats up to 24 metres.
A deeper understanding of marine electrical systems to support practical skills development and experience in the field—particularly useful for those working towards a marine electrical career.
LEVEL 03 · MET 3
Progress into marine electronics: how devices communicate, share information and work together across the systems found on modern yachts.
A detailed understanding of marine electronics, radio systems and data networks, with a reference you can return to when applying your knowledge.
Start with electrical principles and build your understanding of marine wiring, testing, charging, protection and maintenance.
Develop your knowledge of batteries, power generation, AC systems, corrosion protection and onboard equipment.
Progress into marine data networks, sensors, engine gateways, navigation and communications systems.
Included with your package: MET 1, MET 2 and MET 3 examinations, lifetime course access and instructor support. Start with MET 1 and progress through all three levels.
