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.
