15 May 2024
by Kitty Judd

British Marine recognises the importance of continuing to develop both yours and your employees’ skills, but also how crucial time is. 

Following feedback from our members, we have decided to move our RCR course online to make it more accessible to our members, with a day session on Tuesday 4 June 2024 10:00-16:00. We want you to be able to upskill and not lose essential business hours. 

This course is developed and delivered by the British Marine Technical Team. It is designed to increase and expand your knowledge of how to meet the requirements of the post Brexit Recreational Craft Regulations, and assist your ability to manufacture, import and sell legally compliant products. You will learn extensive and up to date information on the RCR and the associated International Standards, to help bring you up to date on the latest legislation.
