A Marine Mechanical Technician installs, troubleshoots, repairs and maintains engines, drive trains and other mechanical, electrical and fluid systems used in the recreational marine industry. With endorsements this work involves all aspects of repairs to diesel engines, gasoline engines, outboard engines, conventional inboard drive trains and stern drives. In short, the MMT program produces the skilled trades people our industry needs and has been developed in response to an aging workforce and the need for qualified new technicians in the field. Years in development, the MMT program is a collaborative effort between Boating BC Association, Industry Training Authority (ITA) and BCIT.
