I learned this trade mostly by hands-on. My first marine mechanic job was by chance,,,, I walked into a place just as the mechanic was packing his tools after being fired...... they handed me a box with a powerhead in pieces, all the new parts and a service manual and told me to put it together,,,,if it ran I had a job. I had never rebuilt an outboard before. Well, that motor ran for 6 years. Some guys can teach themselves better than any school can. My advice is if you are mechanically inclined and can read a service manual, just go get a job and have them send you to school.

MMI is a great school to go to. It is a 14 mounth program. They gave you the first two clinics of book work and for the most part of the remainding clinics is hands on work. They have you working on the engines that you would be working on at you job. They give you some outboard, stern drive a little bit of dessil (when i went their) and also some jet ski. It helps prepair you for the field. What I like is the teachers are tech. that did this for a living.
