RYA VHF Marine Radio (SRC)

At Blueprint Marine HQ online and in our Bristol Headquarters we cover all areas of marine training including RYA Short Range Certificates to operate VHF radios and equipment. The 1 day Short Range Radio Certificate (VHF) is the minimum qualification required by law for the operation of VHF and VHF Digital Selective Calling (DSC) radios and equipment.

The course covers the basics of radio operation, channels and frequencies to use, emergency and distress procedures including Search and Rescue (SART) and Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRB). Using simulators we cover DSC and we always try to make the courses as practical as possible. You can also do the training online if you prefer and then come to our Bristol HQ for the exam only.

Once you have completed RYA SRC training you can then do the exam and we arrange the examiner to come in for your exam at cost price of £60.
