Our mission is to provide the tools required to grant credentials to marine surveyors who have proven their knowledge and expertise of the marine surveyor trade. ACMS offers Marine Surveyors who are certified a viable organization with reasonable annual dues. We offer Marine Surveyors who are not yet certified an opportunity to advance through our Requirements Procedure to certification. Unlike other organizations, ACMS offers applicants who are just starting in the marine surveyor trade access to our Marine Surveyor Apprentice Program, free of charge. The ACMS Marine Surveyor Apprentice Program has been in service for over twenty years with excellent results for those who follow through and complete the program.
