Diploma Marine mechanics, also known as marine motorboat mechanics, are highly-skilled marine mechanics who service and repair electrical and mechanical equipment on marine vessels. They are tasked with the repair and maintenance of all marine engines including outboard motors, inboard motors, and large diesel ship engines.

Marine Mechanic Course & Training

Diploma in Marine Mechanic is a program focused on technical practical and skills-oriented diploma training. These Technical engineering diploma courses are commonly known as poly diploma or polytechnic courses. It is a technical course that only covers the essentials when ranked with an undergraduate engineering degree. It aims to provide students with technical industry or job related engineering knowledge, scientific skills, computing and analysis, mathematical techniques, a sound knowledge of English to communicate in the field and ability to apply problem solving techniques.For more details https://www.skooltek.in/technical-diploma-courses/

Marine Mechanic Course duration is minimum 3 or 2 years (lateral entry). In India recognize it as equivalent to pre-engineering or lateral entry course when considered for continuing studies in engineering related bachelors programs. After successful completion of Marine Mechanic Course, students can either continue further engineering studies in undergraduate level or get employment as Marine junior engineers, sub engineers, associate engineers, , Marine supervisors Marine technicians, technologists, Marine supervisors, superintendents, , Marine supervisors foremen, machinist, Marine workshop technicians, Marine draftsman, Port or shipyard technicians, Marine maintenance and service technicians, Marine equipment mechanics and technicians, CAD/CAM programmer,..etc.

In India any one can apply for this Technical Marine Mechanic after completion of 10th  (Secondary School Leaving Certificate) and its duration is 3 year and lateral entry option for plus two science passed students or ITI two year passed students.

Marine Mechanic Job

While many marine mechanics learn their skills on their own and on the job, many employers prefer to hire those who have attended marine technology colleges. But marine technology degree programs are not widely available: most are found at community colleges and technical schools in coastal communities. These programs offer certificates and associates’ degrees. Earning formal marine mechanics training means you’ll likely need far less on-the-job training, which bosses like. This could help you advance to higher positions more quickly.

Formal training programs can teach you skills that might be hard to learn on your own. In addition to instruction on inboard and outboard engines, classes might teach you to pilot boats, and about wood and fiberglass framing and construction.For more details https://www.skooltek.in/technical-diploma-courses/
