School Memberships – Affiliated and MTAP Schools

​Join as an ABYC Affiliated School today and start incorporating ABYC standards and resources into your curriculum, giving students direct access to the foundational knowledge and certifications needed in the marine workforce. By integrating ABYC standards into your programs, you equip your students with the technical skills and certifications that are highly sought after by employers in the boating industry.

Marine Trades Accreditation Program (MTAP) schools, on the other hand, have undergone a rigorous accreditation process. Not all Affiliated Schools achieve MTAP accreditation, which signifies a deeper institutional commitment to superior marine training and education. Accreditation is available to all high school and post-secondary school marine service technology programs that deliver consistent and reliable instruction on industry-acknowledged topics and techniques.
