Only USPS members are eligible to enroll in this NEW certificate program. The Boat Operator's Certification Program (BOC) will certify USPS members at various levels of recreational boating proficiency. We expect that these certifications will be recognized across the boating community, both domestically and internationally.
The United States Coast Guard (USCG) has asked congress to authorize the Transportation Secretary to establish requirements for standards of proficiency for recreational boaters. USPS intends this certification to be accepted as the above proof as well as the national certificate for the USA.
