Premier Marinas

Marina Operatives Course

The Marina Operatives Course is a modular programme, specifically designed with the requirements of a modern marina in mind.  It will enable your staff members to train in all areas of the business whilst on-the-job, saving you precious time, that would be lost if staff had to attend courses offsite.  The candidate will work through a series of modules in the course workbook, covering areas such as Customer Care, Marina and Plant Maintenance, Berthing Administration, Boat Handling and Safety.

The modular format of the course means that it can be undertaken at any pace - fitting in with both work commitments and staff ability and experience.

On completion of the course, your candidates will be issued with a certificate to confirm that they are proficient in all topics covered in the course.  The course workbook can then be kept as an excellent reference guide for the candidate to use in the future.

Prices for the manual are as follows:

  • BMF Members price: £25.00 + VAT + £4.00 P&P - Total £33.38 per copy
  • Non-members price: £50.00 + VAT + £4.00 P&P - Total £62.75 per copy.
