Imagine you’re out on the water and need to reach a harbour for an urgent berth, contact a buddy boat for assistance, or call for help in an emergency. A VHF radio is your lifeline at sea, ensuring you can communicate quickly and effectively when it matters most. Whether you’re sailing, powerboating, or working in the maritime industry, the RYA VHF Short Range Certificate (SRC) Course gives you the confidence and skills to use marine radios properly and legally. This internationally recognised qualification is essential for any skipper or crew member. From making routine calls to handling distress situations, you’ll learn how to operate a VHF radio with Digital Selective Calling (DSC), the modern system that allows instant communication with the coastguard and nearby vessels.
