The American Boat & Yacht Council yesterday announced the accreditation of three marine service technology programs: Carteret Community College in Morehead City, N.C.; Fort Myers Technical College in Fort Myers, Fla.; and Suncoast Technical College in Sarasota, Fla.
“Accreditation is an important step in strengthening marine service education,” said Lisa Van Gruisen, ABYC’s MTAP Coordinator, in a statement. “These programs are helping prepare the next generation of marine service professionals through instruction that reflects the evolving technology and workforce needs.”
The schools were previously part of ABYC’s Marine League of Schools and were grandfathered into the Marine Trades Accreditation Program when it launched. This marks their first MTAP accreditation after completing the program’s formal review process, and reflects their continued commitment to quality education.
