The VHF Short Range Certificate (SRC) is the radio operator qualification that authorises the holder to operate a VHF radiotelephone fitted with Digital Selective Calling (DSC) on board any British vessel voluntarily fitted with radio equipment.
Format
The course is built around practical sessions on digital and VHF simulators. It uses ‘role playing’ emergency and day to day radio scenarios to reinforce learning. Practical advice is provided for using the radio at sea for routine calling or in the unlikely event of casualty working.
