USPS University – Seminar Series

 

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: Pre-registration is required to ensure that we have a minimum amount of students. The cost of a seminar is $35.00 per student or $ 40.00 for per couple living in the same household. When you preregister a $15.00 deposit is required. This can be paid with a PayPal account or a major credit card.
