VHF course

One day course

As sea kayakers the VHF radio is arguably our most important communication device. This one day course aims to quickly and comprehensively complete all the requirements for the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) Short Range Radio Certificate (SCR), with the qualification being awarded by trainer assesment.

Note - The SRC has replaced the VHF Operator's Certificate and is now the minimum radio qualification examined in the UK. Existing holders of the VHF radio operator certificates are still legal to operate, but must update to SRC if they operate GMDSS equiptment.
