The Desired Outcome of SBEC 101, and 102
The desired outcome we seek for the In‑Training Crew‑Member (Student), is for them to possess a well-rounded understanding of basic safe boating rules, regulations and safety, and a passing grade of 70% or greater. Upon completion, each student will receive a certificate of satisfactory completion from the State of Maryland issued through Maryland Youth Maritime Academy, Inc. (Required in the State of Maryland, for anyone born after July 1, 1972)
To achieve this outcome, the ideal number of in‑training crew members is 100 trainees in any one session, but that will depend on the number of students participating at the time the scheduled course is held. In many settings there are a minimum number of students any instructor would wish to work with; however, MYMA has no (and will set no) lower limit, taking into consideration that some in-training crew members might need one-on-one instruction.
SEAM 101: The Cost for this phase $375.00 per Student per year
Year‑Round In‑Training Crew Member Program
