Marine Mechanic Certification
 If you want to become a marine mechanic, you will need to take time to serve an apprenticeship in air-cooled marine mechanics. Your marine mechanic certification will come at the end of this process.
In order to qualify for an apprenticeship, you will need to have completed your Grade 12 with your secondary school diploma, and have credits in math, science and English. You will need to have specialized in technical courses such as mechanics and electrical systems. Your apprenticeship will involve some 6000 to 7200 hours of on the job training and theoretical study at a technical institute, and you will take an examination to gain your certificate of qualification. You will then have achieved marine mechanic certification.
Seasonal Work
Your work as a marine mechanic will involve small boat engines such as outboards, and lawn mower and similar engines. For some people marine work tends to be seasonal, so they also take other small engine work on as well. Many marine mechanics specialize in a particular manufacturer's engines, gaining manufacturer's marine mechanics certification in their products.
This can be a good occupation if you are willing to go freelance or you decide to set up your own business. Many people make more money this way than working for other people. Other marine mechanics work as service agents for a specific manufacturer, or work directly in the manufacturer's service or development department. |
