Procedures

There are two parts to the Application process. The first part includes the submission of the application form, including the applicant's statements, three letters of recommendation, a medical release, copies of your most recent academic transcripts, either high school or college, or GED test scores. 

The second part is an interview with the IYRS Program Director. Once all of your application materials have been received, you will be contacted to schedule an interview.  It is strongly recommended that the interview take place in person here on the IYRS campus.  Applications for the Boat Building and Restoration and Marine Systems programs are available online.  You can also contact us by email or by phone at 401-848-5777 x203.

The school has one start date in September of each year for both programs. Admissions are rolling and accepted year round.  Applicants are notified in writing after the admissions committee has reviewed their application of their status. The committee meets approximately once a month. 

Admission to the programs is based on the applicant’s desire and ability to complete the course of study. Previous experience with boats, woodworking or marine systems is desired but is not required.   Students are selected without regard to national or ethnic origin, race, sex, age, sexual orientation or religion and must be capable of benefiting from the training offered. All persons applying for admission must have completed high school or the equivalency and have the ability to understand written and oral instruction in the English language.

IYRS is accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Career Schools/Colleges of Technology (ACCSCT).
