RYA VHF DSC Short Range Certificate Radio Course

£90.00 Inc. VAT
One day course, small numbers. This course replaces the Restricted (VHF only) Radio Operators course and is for students with no existing Marine VHF qualification. It covers both basic marine band VHF operation and Global Maritime Distress and Safety System procedures using Digital Selective Calling. Students will be able to practice procedures using VHF DSC. and GMDSS equipment fitted with dummy loads in order that they may be operated in the classroom environment.

The use of this equipment rather than the computer generated simulators used at many other training establishments enables the student to experience hands-on use of the equipment & procedures.

These are used during the morning & early afternoon and assessment is a continuous process.

The all important practical assessment is complemented by a written test covering other areas of the syllabus.
