What is the USPS University?
Recognizing that there are specific types of knowledge and skill needed to operate various types of water craft in different environments, the USPS has developed recommendations for individuals who wish to pursue a specific certification in boating. It is planned that such certifications will be recognized by other boating organizations (US Sailing) and regulatory bodies (US Coast Guard). Each level of certification requires completion of a series of courses that are recommended by the USPS as including the knowledge required to safely operate a water craft at the prescribed level. In addition, certification will require an on-the-water demonstration of certain skills.
