TRAINING - RYA VHF Marine Radio Course 14 October

OVERVIEW

Tony Campion of 2nd Meridian Training is running this VHF Marine Radio course

The course and exam is for anyone who owns a fixed or handheld marine VHF radio and anyone who wants to skipper a yacht equipped with a VHF Radio and is not in possession of a Short Range Certificate.

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.

This one day classroom course prepares students for the written and practical assessment to achieve an SRC/VHF Operators licence. It will cover the basics of radio operation, frequencies, distress, emergency and medical assistance procedures, making ship to shore telephone calls, Digital Selective Calling and Global Maritime Distress Safety System.

Please note the SRC assessment needs to be booked directly through RYA and costs £76. 2nd Meridian can assist with this.

COST

Course Fee £115 (to include the  G31 RYA VHF manual) plus £76 for an assessment
