Electrical Courses
Power your career in the marine industry with British Marine’s Electrical Training pathway, which is designed to build technical expertise, ensure industry compliance, and keep you at the forefront of rapidly evolving onboard technologies.
At the core of the pathway is the British Marine Electrical Technician (BMET) qualification, providing a comprehensive foundation in marine electrical systems. Aligned with the BMEEA Code of Practice and industry standards, this course equips you with the essential knowledge and practical skills required to work confidently and safely on marine electrical installations.
Building on this, the Marine Electronics Installer (MEI) course develops specialist expertise in onboard electronics - covering installation, data communications, and system integration. This globally-recognised qualification, certified by the National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA), ensures you can meet modern standards and deliver high-quality, compliant installations in an increasingly digital marine environment.
For those entering the sector or working in related roles, the Marine Electrical Awareness course provides a valuable introduction to key principles, offering a clear understanding of marine electrical systems and safe working practices.
As technology advances, the pathway also includes cutting-edge training in lithium-ion systems. The Lithium-Ion Essentials for Professional Advisers course delivers a high-level overview, which is ideal for insurers and industry professionals who need to understand the risks, regulations, and applications without deep technical detail.
For those involved in design, installation, or survey work, the Introduction to Lithium-Ion Battery Installations on Small Craft course offers a more in-depth understanding, covering system components, safety considerations, and the standards governing safe installation in both leisure and commercial vessels.
Completing the pathway, the e-Propulsion course introduces the latest developments in electric propulsion systems, supporting the industry’s shift towards more sustainable, low-emission technologies.
Together, these courses create a flexible, progressive pathway - combining core electrical knowledge with specialist and future-focused skills - so you can develop, adapt, and excel in a fast-moving marine industry.
