Training

Effective training is a vital part of Barrus’s business to maintain high standards of service support across our dealer networks.

The company offers a comprehensive range of courses for engineers and technicians  which are available to all dealers  and specialist partners.  There is a purpose-built Training School at the Barrus headquarters in Bicester which is supported by regional courses throughout the UK and Ireland.

With technology improvements being introduced more frequently and particularly the level of electronics involved in engine management increasing rapidly, Barrus training courses are essential to ensure the highest levels of support for end users.

In addition to the Barrus training courses, authorised Marine dealers now have access to 'Mercury University' an on-line training resource.

Here's what some of the Barrus dealers have to say about the training courses:
