About the RYA VHF Course 

• The RYA VHF  course is a one-day shore-based course followed by an assessment that takes between 30 minutes and 1 hour.
• Participating in our VHF course ( including GMDSS ) requires some pre-course studying from your side. Once you book your place on the course we will send you the VHF RADIO ( including GMDSS ) Course Handbook G31 to read. This pre-course reading ( approx 3 hours ) is vital as there is no time during the day to teach the essential theory to enable you to understand the practical aspects of the course.
• The classroom RYA VHF course and assessment start at 09.00 and will end at approximately 18.00.
• At the end of the course, you will receive an RYA SRC Certificate of classroom course completion which allows you to participate in the exams.
• The assessment will take about 1 hour during which you will be tested on your home study and course content.
