RYA Short Range Certificate (SRC) / VHF Licence
Aims:
This radio operator qualification authorises the holder to operate a VHF radio both with and without Digital Selective Calling (DSC) on board any British vessel that is voluntarily fitted with radio equipment. Essentially, it’s the VHF licence for leisure users. This qualification is a legal requirement for marine VHF users throughout the world. It's also good to know what to do if you ever require assistance.
Course Duration:
One day: 0930 to 1700.
Pre Requisites:
There are no pre-requisites for this course, although we will ask you to learn the phonetic alphabet in advance (sent out at the time of booking).
Course Content:
The course concentrates on use of VHF Radio under the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS). In addition to VHF procedures, it also covers Digital Selective Calling (DSC), Navtex, EPIRBs and SARTs. This certificate has replaced the old VHF Restricted Licence and is the qualification required to operate a marine VHF Radio.
The course is taught using our range of 14 live DSC and Navtex sets. You can expect to practice on Simrad, Icom and Silva radios and a Nasa Navtex set during your course.
