USPS University includes 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.
These seminars are available now.
To inquire as to when and where the
next session of a particular seminar will be given, please drop an e-mail
