USPS University is here with new programs targeted to a range of boaters
and types of boating. The hallmark of this concept is the Seminar
Series. These short seminars are targeted to specific topics
and needs with a two-hour format, and valuable take-away guides. Each
seminar provides credits toward the soon to be released Boat Operator
Certification program, and credit toward elective courses.
If you are a member of a yacht club or another boating club we can arrange group seminars for your group. Contact Fred Taylor at aseo@fvsps.org for more information and cost.
The following seminars are available to both the public and squadron members. For additional information, see the class descriptions below.
Note:
The cost of each seminar is $35.00 for a single or $40.00 for a couple living in the same residence.
