| The Public Boating Course is given to the general public as a civic service and is one of the prerequisites for any person who wishes to become a member. The Advanced Grades and other courses are given only to members of our organization. |
Our Public Boating Course is offered to any woman, man, and teen who is not a member of USPS but is concerned
about safe boating. The USPS Boating Course have helped more than 3,000,000 people since 1914 to get acquainted
with the nautical rules and regulations, the forces of nature that affect our activity, and the traditional
courtesies at sea. It also helped to learn the basics about the mariner's compass, chart plotting, engine
troubleshooting, speed-time-distance calculations, bearing taking, and many other subjects.
Our
Advanced Grades Program
is designed for those members who want to improve their boating knowledge and skills. Our Squadron
offers carefully planned courses in such subjects as Seamanship, Piloting, Plotting and Position
Finding, Celestial Navigation, Cruise Planning, Engine Maintenance, Marine Electronics, and many more.
Grade and Certificate are awarded to our members upon successfully completion of each course.
After reviewing the complete listing of the courses we offer, please contact our Squadron Educational Officer, who will be happy to assist you with more details about the courses you want to take.
