Education Requirements for Membership
Although USPS currently has no education requirement for membership, certain squadrons may require the passing of a NASBLA “approved” boating course as a requirement for membership. USPS or NASBLA approved courses include: USCG Captain's License, a degree from the US Naval Academy, USCG Academy or US Merchant Marine Academy or any boating course carrying NASBLA certification. Currently, Sarasota Power Squadron does not have an education requirement for becoming a member.
