American Boat & Yacht Council Launches New Industry Certification Course: ABYC Marine Systems Certification

April 27, 2006, Edgewater, MD: The American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC) recently offered its first Marine Systems Certification course in Myrtle Beach, SC. This new workforce certification marks ABYC's seventh in the series of marine industry certification programs and was specifically designed to address a multi-system approach that the other certification programs do not cover.

Designed for the experienced technician, this four-day course will provide students with vital information on 21 ABYC standards as they relate to component selection and installation in a multi-system marine environment. Upon successful completion of this course, and passing a 200-questions certification exam, the student will have demonstrated standards-based system proficiency in the following areas: potable water systems, waste water systems, tankage, plumbing, AC and refrigeration systems, electrical installation, system monitoring, compressed gas systems, hydraulic systems and pump systems.
