Marine Electrical Course
Level 2
Learn about installation, maintenance, safety, and fault finding on more advanced marine electrical systems
Aligned with: ABYC E11 - BS EN ISO 13297 - IEC 60029 (507) - AS/NZS 3004.2
The Level 2 course allows you to leverage the concepts from MECO Level 1 Course and learn the finer points of 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.
Upon completion of the final MET written exam you can achieve your Marine Electrical Technician Level 2 MET 2 card. This is an industry recognised licence that enables you to find work in the marine electrical sector.
- Pre-course requirements: Level 1
- Recommended study time: 2 days
- Certification (personal use): Course completion

Certification (professional use): MET 2 Certificate
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.
