BMET
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

- 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
