VHF Marine Radio Course
There are two VHF Marine Radio Courses:
- Australian Waters Qualification (AWQ) - Designed specifically for recreational powerboat and sailing boat operators in Australian Waters. Ideal for inland and enclosed waters and allows you to operate up to 12nM from the shore on coastal waters. $175 (usually $195)
- International Short Range Operators Certificate of Proficiency (SROCP) VHF course - This can be used on all waterways and is required when operating beyond 12nM from coastal shorelines and can be used for overseas hire of some charter boats and some commercial uses. $275 (usually $295)
Both cover the legal requirements and the day-to-day operation:
- Who do I call?
- How do I call?
- Is my radio working properly? etc
The classroom session involves a visual presentation, practical examples and practical use of the VHF radio before a knowledge-based test and a practical "hands-on" test. Nationally accredited, a Statement of Attainment will be supplied upon successful passing.
The course is delivered by Peninsula Boat Training.
