Basic Marina Operations Training Guide
Now Available!
IMI’s Basic Marina Operations Training Guide is now
available for purchase. This guide will be provided both
in hard-copy and in electronic form, and is a training program
directed towards entry-level staff and seasonal help.
This manual was developed using the British Marine Federation’s
basic training program and was edited to convert
all modules for use in domestic operations.
The objective of the Basic Marina Operations Training
Guide is to deliver marina-specific skills and knowledge to
workers in marinas and, where appropriate, boatyards.
This course is designed for all staff below management level,
such as:
• Dockmasters
• Dockhands
• Berthing/mooring administrators
• Yard workers
• Forklift/Hoist and travel Lift operators
• Site-care and maintenance staff
• Marina Boat Operators
• Pump-Out Operators
• Fueling Technicians
Most of the modules are designed
to be completed at or
near to the employee’s place of
work and is a self guided program
that the operator completes
under the guidance of
their manager. Clear guidance
notes are included for both
the operator and the manager.
Please read these before embarking on the course.
The syllabus content is covered in the ‘Index of Modules’ and is
intended to cover all the subjects needed for operator to work
with confidence and competence. It is also intended to provide
guidelines for the employer and a record of training and achievement
for regulatory compliance and records documentation.
Training should begin on the first day of employment as there
are subjects that should be covered during employee orientation.
The operator has 12 months to complete the course;
this course can be embedded into your organizations overall
training program. It is recommended that the training section
of the AMI/IMI Marina Operations Manual (MOM)
be reviewed and utilized in the development of the marina’s
training program, using the training chapter in this manual.
