RYA VHF (SRC) Classroom Evening Course » RYA VHF (SRC) Classroom Evening Course
The SRC / VHF evening course is a two day shore based course followed by another one day of assessment which takes between 30min and 1 hour. Participating on our VHF course requires some pre-course self studying. Once you book your place on the course VHF RADIO Course Handbook ( including GMDSS ) G31 can be collected here in the club to read. This pre course reading ( approx 3 hours ) is vital as there is limited time during the night to teach the essential theory to enable you to understand the practical aspects of the course. The classroom SRC/VHF radio evening course starts at 17.30 and will end at approximately 21.30 both days and the assessment date & timings to be confirmed. At the end of the course you will receive a RYA SRC Certificate of classroom course completion which allows you to participate on the assessment.
