Learn about more complex systems.

Build a strong foundation in marine electrical systems and advance to competent, standards-based installation, maintenance, and fault finding. This combined Boat Electrics (MET 1) and Marine Electrical Technician (MET2) package is designed for boat owners, yacht crew, and trainee marine technicians.

Learn at your own pace and in your own time with no prior experience required.

Start off from the basics and soon you'll be fault finding like the professionals. There is a fair bit to learn but at MECO we break the Marine Electrical system down into much easier to understand subsystems. And of course - with access for life you do not need to memorise everything, you can pop back at any time for a quick refresher on any of the systems covered, and even ask support questions too.

Standards

MECO courses are structured around the three principal standards used across the marine industry: ABYC, ISO and IEC.
More than one standard may apply to different systems aboard the same vessel, and reflect in some cases a minimum acceptable standard, rather than best practice.
