British Marine Electronic Technician (BMET) Scheme
British Marine Federation (BMF) and BMEA (British Marine Electronics Association) have established the British Marine Electronics Technicians (BMET) Scheme to provide a standard for marine electronics technicians. The goal is to give everyone in the marine electronics industry - consumers, dealers, distributors and manufacturers a standard to ensure quality installation and service of marine electronics equipment.
The scheme involves completion of Practical Tasks at your place of work and concludes with an examination. There are two levels, Intermediate and Advanced (Please register interest for the Advanced by emailing )
Please note that this scheme is not a training course, instead it is designed to provide certification for current skills.
