The American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC) has launched a new Marine Engines and Fuel Systems Certification course, a comprehensive program that combines the previously separate Gasoline Engines and Diesel Engines certifications into a single, streamlined certification. The first interactive online course will be held Oct. 8-24, 2024, running three days a week for three weeks from 3:00-4:30 p.m. ET.

Recognizing the evolving needs of marine technicians who often work on both gasoline and diesel engines, ABYC has developed this course to provide a more efficient pathway to certification. As most in-depth engine diagnostics and repairs are manufacturer-specific, this course focuses on the ABYC Standards that apply to both gasoline (petrol) and diesel-fuel engines, and the systems they are connected to, such as fuel, electric, drives and exhaust. Basic troubleshooting, repair and maintenance of these various systems is addressed as well.

This course is appropriate for marine technicians, repair shops and others in the marine industry who are seeking to enhance their qualifications and ensure compliance with ABYC Standards. For more information about the certification course and to register, visit abycinc.org/events.
