Create a list of your training requirements. Consider your financing, the kind of class schedule and amount of homework you can handle, and whether you would rather train at a local campus or find online classes.
Select three to four schools that offer degrees or certification for small engine mechanics. Because of the increasing complexity of boat and motorcycle engines, many employers require a certificate or degree. Look into both online schools and campus-based institutions located near you.
Read all information for each school's program. Consider the length of time required to complete training, tool requirements, funding options and the courses offered. Check for financial aid options, including grants that sometimes cover coursework and materials.
Compare the program information from each school with your list. Select the school that best fits your interests and requirements for training. Call the school's enrollment adviser and begin the enrollment process.
