One of the main goals of the United States Power Squadrons is “boating safety through education”—we believe that an educated boater is a safer boater. USPS provides many skill building opportunities to the general public through a variety of courses, seminars, and marine-related guides. Our instructors are certified regarding their ability to teach and to use of modern instructional techniques. All classes are fun and informative, and bring you into contact with other boaters.

In addition to the public courses listed below, the six squadrons of District 28 offer offer two levels of member courses (Advanced and Elective) covering the operation and maintenance of power and sail vessels and a four level Boat Operator Certification program (Inland Navigator, Coastal Navigator, Advanced Coastal Navigator, and Offshore Navigator). Click on the links below for the current course schedules. Member Advanced and Elective courses may also be found by going to http://www.usps.org/cgi-bin-nat/eddept/cfind.cgi and enter either your zip code or city and state.
