When we developed the level 2 curriculum the goal was to ensure learners could apply the basics from the level 1 course to the more complex areas of the marine electrical system.
Each module is packed with practical tips and step-by-step guides, ensuring that you can apply what you've learned immediately, whether you're assessing wiring onboard or troubleshooting a fault.
The level 2 course is ideal for boat owners, skippers and crew but also, on completion of the optional final MET written exam learners can achieve their entry level Marine Electrical Technician Level 2 card. This is an industry recognised licence that enables you to find work in the marine electrical sector.
Below are just a few examples of the subjects covered.
