A one day course providing
practical training on VHF-DSC and the theoretical background
to GMDSS.
This course provides the necessary training to meet the
requirements for the Radio Communication Agency Short-Range
Certificate. This qualification has superseded the VHF licence
and is required by all owners of a VHF radio or DSC controller.
Under the latest RTA regulations it will be impossible to
purchase a VHF set incorporating DSC, without first having
completed this course.
The course culminates in a short practical test together
with a theoretical examination. Successful candidates may
apply for the Radio Communication Agencies Short-Range Certificate.
