A course for anyone who owns a fixed or hand-held marine VHF radio. A radio is an important piece of safety equipment on board and it is vital to understand the correct procedures. A Radio licence is also required before completing any RYA/MCA Yachtmaster Coastal and Yachtmaster Offshore Examinations and to gain commercial endorsement.
The course can be taken online through our Interactive site. The course offers a flexible approach enabling you to learn where and when it suits you. There are seven modules, after which a number of practical scenarios become available for you to gain further experience in a variety of situations.
The training modules can be completed online or offline after your first log in.
After completing all the modules you can access the Pre-exam Knowledge Check. Once this is completed you can then take your final exam here with us.
The syllabus includes basic VHF/SRC operation, the correct frequencies, use of DSC (Digital Selective Calling) and GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress & Safety System), distress, emergency and medical assistance procedures.
