RYA Marine Radio SRC Course
If you have a VHF radio onboard your boat, or even carry a handheld VHF whilst kayaking or paddle-boarding, you need to hold an operator's licence.
A radio is an important piece of safety equipment on board and it is vital to understand the correct procedures. The Short Range Certificate is the minimum qualification required by law to control the operation of VHF and VHF Digital Selective Calling (DSC) equipment on any British flagged vessel voluntarily fitted with a radio either fixed or hand held.
Our RYA Marine Radio Short Range Certificate course is a 10 hour course aimed at anyone who wants to operate a marine VHF radio, with or without Digital Selective Calling. This is an in-person course in the club house.
Vital for days out boating, it covers radio functionality, how to relay information clearly and swiftly in an emergency, as well as hands-on practice of operating and talking over the radio.
The course book will be available to participants in advance as there will be approximately 3 hours of pre-reading to complete.
