USPS University – Seminar Series
USPS University is here with new programs targeted to a range of boaters
and types of boating. The hallmark of this concept is the Seminar
Series. These short seminars are targeted to specific topics
and needs with a two-hour format, and valuable take-away guides. Each
seminar provides credits toward the soon to be released Boat Operator
Certification program, and credit toward elective courses.
These seminars are available now and can be scheduled through the SEO Ed Walsh.
