BMET is changing….

After several years of operation and on the basis of feedback from Industry we have taken the decision that BMET needs to be split into separate qualifications for Electrical and Electronic specialisms.

BMEA are working closely with National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) to develop a suite of internationally recognised courses and certifications for the Marine Electronics sector. We will be running some courses during 2010, dates are still to be confirmed.  Further details about the course here.

Further details of the Electronics courses and qualification will be updated on the BMF and BMEA websites in the coming months.

BMET Electrical:

BMET going forward will focus on Marine Electrics.  A revised syllabus is available and the scheme requirements have been amended

What are the requirements?

There will be two levels of certification:

  • Intermediate
    • 1 year’s experience working as a marine technician (post apprenticeship) endorsed by employer or customers
    • Pass the BMET exam
  • Advanced
    • The advanced level qualification is currently under development and will be available in 2010

What is the cost?

There is an all-inclusive fee which includes the cost of examination and certification.  The cost per candidate is £50.00 + VAT.
