Westlawn Companion Course: ABYC's CBBC focuses primarily on hands-on assembly and construction. Westlawn's BC401, Fiberglass Boatbuilding covers good design and building practice and design calculations. You can start with either course, as they both complement each other nicely.

Recommended Westlawn Course: An alternative recommendation for the factory engineer or manager, or shop-floor employees, who are looking to move up, would be to take Westlawn's BC402, Fiberglass Boatbuilding Production Methods.
