COVID 19 - Update 11 May - We will resume SVOP, MEDA3 and ROCM courses 1 June. To maintain physical distancing, they will be small classes - book now before they sell-out. Thank-you and stay healthy!
Datum Marine welcomes you to Marine Training BC.COM, our website dedicated to helping you find the right course to get you out on the water!
At Datum Marine, we make our classes relevant to small commercial vessel operators within the confines of the Transport Canada SVOP/MEDA3 and Industry Canada curriculums.
To Operate a Small Commercial Boat you will need the SVOP, MEDA3 and ROCM courses, you will also need Marine Basic First Aid
The SVOP is a Transport Canada captain's certification to operate a Small Commercial Boat, less than 5 Gross Tons, up to 12 passengers, less than 25 miles from shore.
The MEDA3 is NOT a medical or First Aid course! It is a course about what to do in an emergency on a boat and is required alongside the SVOP
