Raymarine Service Agents work towards BMET certification
The British Marine Federation (BMF) and BMEA (British Marine Electronics Association) established the British Marine Electronics Technicians (BMET) Scheme in January 2005 to provide a standard for marine electronics technicians.
The aim is to give everyone in the marine electronics industry - consumers, dealers, distributors and manufacturers a standard to ensure quality installation and service of marine electronics equipment.
This year Raymarine is actively encouraging all Raymarine service agents to become certified under the BMET scheme. Working closely with the BMEA and using Raymarine’s own training curriculum with the addition of the BMET qualification, the company is convinced that certification will become an industry supported and consumer recognised, platform of accreditation which will demonstrate commitment to recognised standards, leading to improved quality and reliability of installation and service to the benefit of all our customers as well as reduced warranty
To gain the BMET certificate at Intermediate Level there are 4 requirements, which every candidate must meet:
1 Pass the BMET exam
2 Complete the practical tasks for either Electrical or Electronics
3 Show at least 1 year’s relevant work experience
4 Provide a copy of their Short Range Certificate
Copies of all necessary documentation can be found at: http://www.britishmarine.co.uk/training
