The Tactical Marine Unit is a specialty division, just like SWAT and EOD. I imagine they have an appropriate training program.
For the record, Marine Corps formal training for small boat operations lasts two weeks. Training on the M-240G, about a day before you're considered "qualified" to use it in combat. Then you go out and do it, and learn whatever is left on the job.
