RYA Short Range Certificate - VHF/GMDSS Course
1 day (conversion course available if converting or upgrading from 'old' Restricted VHF qualification)
Scheduled courses are held at Southampton, Hampshire UK and in the Solent area.
Everyone! A VHF is an essential item of safety kit and thus taking a VHF course to ensure that you know how to use it is key.
It is somewhat ironic that to helm a high powered powerboat you don't need any form of licence or qualification, yet to use its VHF radio you need a vhf licence for the set and to sit an exam to gain your vhf radio operators certificate.
This is a one day course and simply tends to be known as the VHF Course. The course/exam leads to the new Short Range Certificate (SRC) and covers the new Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS course). This subject is too large to go into the level of detail we would like to on this site so please contact us for further information.
An additional payment of £30 (payable to the RYA by cheque, credit/debit card, NO CASH) will be required on the day of the course for the issue of your VHF/SRC Operators Licence. You will also need to bring a colour passport size photo on the day of your course to send off with your VHF Licence Application.
Special prices and special offers apply to new bookings only

Additional VHF radio courses can be scheduled for groups of 3 or more.
If you have a group (Minimum of 4 people) from your boat club, marina, boat crew or just friends then we can travel to your area and provide a vhf radio course to suit your schedule. Please contact us for further information.
