How do I become a Vessel Safety Check Examiner?

VSC Certification is open to any squadron member who completes thie course and passes the exam.  The course manual and a helpful Power Point presentation are to the left.  Study both and reach out to our VSC chairman, Charlie Virga, to arrange for the test.

We need more examiners. We invite you to become one.
