Beginning in late summer, Mercury Marine dealers and partners in the United States and Canada can complete training courses and register for classroom courses online. The new online learning system will be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Dealers and partners will have access to Mercury University’s training content anytime, anywhere in a secure, hosted environment. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Mercury says the online training will not only make learning more accessible, but also make testing more convenient. When students complete an online course, they will have the option to take an online test. The results of the test are immediately available to the user and are recorded in the individual’s learning history, which is viewable by that person and his or her supervisor. “Our dealers are critical to our success,” said Brad Weber, director of 4470 Shoreline Drive, Spring Park, MN www.bluelagoonmarine.com 952-471-8000 1995 21’ Correct Craft Sport Nautique 5.8L inboard - $14,900 2003 28’ Cruisers 2870 Rogue Tw 5.0L Volvo dual prop - $72,900 1999 24’ Larson 244 Cabrio 5.0 Volvo SX - $16,900 2001 26’ Bayliner Ciera 5.7 MerCruiser - $28,900 1998 32’ Chris Craft Express Twin 5.7 Volvo - $69,000 1998 3175 Cruiser Rogue Tw 5.7 Mercs - $64,895 1985 36’ Tiara 3600 Open Twin 454’s - $75,000 1999 Trojan 360 Express Twin 7.4 MPI Mercs - $112,000 1996 24’ Sea Ray Sundancer 5.7 Mercruiser - $22,900 Field Service Development and Operations. “When they voiced a need for an online learning system, we listened and made the required investment. The ability to complete online courses and tests will be of great benefit to the dealer. No longer are they limited to the business hours of Mercury University.
