Mercury to Offer Three Week Training for Select Technicians

Mercury Marine will offer additional programming for marine technicians as part of its Mercury University Accelerated Outboard Certification program. The program allows a select group of new technicians to become Mercury certified in three weeks, saving travel costs and time away from the office.

Participating technicians must be employed by a Mercury dealership and are selected by a recommendation from the dealership in conjunction with a Mercury Marine field service representative. Each session is limited to 14 technicians.

In the Accelerated Outboard Certification Program, technicians attend one week of instructor-led online training through Mercury University’s Distance Learning and two weeks of in-class hands-on training at a Mercury University training facility in either Suwanee, Georgia or Dallas, Texas.

The course and exam requirements are the same for both the traditional and accelerated programs.

Mercury University will be running a fall program in October 2018 and a spring program in April of 2019.
