We run regular SVOP, SDVBS and ROCM courses in Richmond (Vancouver), Victoria, Campbell River, Duncan, Nanaimo and sometimes Tofino! These are certificates and qualifications needed at the entry level into the commercial marine industry anywhere in Canada.
The marine industry across Canada involving “small” vessels is thriving and expanding all the time. There are, and will continue to be many exciting opportunities in the industry with jobs in tourism, fishing, guiding, passenger and freight transportation, enforcement and many other industries that depend on boats.
Our management and instructors all have commercial time on vessels, hold valid Transport Canada commercial master licenses, and respect the small vessel industry as part of British Columbia’s economic life blood.
Datum Marine focuses on small vessel operation and training. We do one thing, with added value, and we do it well.
