"My company believes very strongly in the ABYC Electrical Certification Program to the extent that all of our technicians are required to pass the initial certification test and remain certified as a requisite for their continued employment. We presently have 17 Certified Electrical Marine Technicians and I know our customers appreciate the level of professionalism that this program provides to the industry."
