TWENTY-SEVEN ranks of the Guyana Defence Force and the Guyana Fire Service recently commenced training on the Outboard Operators Maintenance Course.
The course, which is administered by the Coast Guard, will be held over a six-week period and is designed to equip students to navigate any outboard vessel safely and competently in any condition. They will also be able to effectively troubleshoot and administer firsthand maintenance to an outboard engine.
At a simple course opening ceremony, Lieutenant Commander Luther Singh told ranks that the course will instill in them a keen sense of responsibility towards the marine environment.
He encouraged them to embrace challenges, ask questions and engage their instructors whose expertise and guidance will be invaluable throughout the course.
