Basic <strong>Marina</strong> Operations Training Guide<br />
Now Available!<br />
IMI’s Basic <strong>Marina</strong> Operations Training Guide is now<br />
available for purchase. This guide will be provided both<br />
in hard-copy and in electronic form, and is a training program<br />
directed towards entry-level staff and seasonal help.<br />
This manual was developed using the British Marine Federation’s<br />
basic training program and was edited to convert<br />
all modules for use in domestic operations.<br />
The objective <strong>of</strong> the Basic <strong>Marina</strong> Operations Training<br />
Guide is to deliver marina-specific skills and knowledge to<br />
workers in marinas and, where appropriate, boatyards.<br />
This course is designed for all staff below management level,<br />
such as:<br />
• Dockmasters<br />
• Dockhands<br />
• Berthing/mooring administrators<br />
• Yard workers<br />
• Forklift/Hoist and travel Lift operators<br />
• Site-care and maintenance staff<br />
• <strong>Marina</strong> Boat Operators<br />
• Pump-Out Operators<br />
• Fueling Technicians<br />
Most <strong>of</strong> the modules are designed<br />
to be completed at or<br />
near to the employee’s place <strong>of</strong><br />
work and is a self guided program<br />
that the operator completes<br />
under the guidance <strong>of</strong><br />
their manager. Clear guidance<br />
notes are included for both<br />
the operator and the manager.<br />
Please read these before embarking on the course.<br />
The syllabus content is covered in the ‘Index <strong>of</strong> Modules’ and is<br />
intended to cover all the subjects needed for operator to work<br />
with confidence and competence. It is also intended to provide<br />
guidelines for the employer and a record <strong>of</strong> training and achievement<br />
for regulatory compliance and records documentation.<br />
Training should begin on the first day <strong>of</strong> employment as there<br />
are subjects that should be covered during employee orientation.<br />
The operator has 12 months to complete the course;<br />
this course can be embedded into your organizations overall<br />
training program. It is recommended that the training section<br />
<strong>of</strong> the AMI/IMI <strong>Marina</strong> Operations Manual (MOM)<br />
be reviewed and utilized in the development <strong>of</strong> the marina’s<br />
training program, using the training chapter in this manual.<br />
