Yeosu-si signed up for the service commitment agreement for 'Yeosu Marine School' with Sea Explorers of Korea Jeonnam Dongbu Council and Maritime Rescue & Salvage Association of Korea Jeonnam Dongbu Branch in the morning on the 20th at the control center of city hall. Its operation will start from March in earnest.
The Marine school will carry out the education for acquisition of 'license of water leisure crafts, class II' and 'marine life guard license,' which are the basic license for marine-related qualification.
Yeosu-si will run the Marine School through a total of five sessions with 20 people for one session by events. At this rate, about 200 people will acquire the marine-related license every year. The license acquisitors will take roles in various fields such as marine leisure sports education and experience class or beach water safety management.
