Are you using your marine radio without being qualified? Gain the Long Range or Short Range Marine Radio Operators Certificate of Proficiency.

This certificate is required for all people using HF or VHF Marine radios. Feel confident and secure knowing how to use the boat’s radio. As well as giving you the operational skills essential for the confident and responsible use of a marine radio, a significant benefit of studying for a certificate arises from knowing the distress and safety procedures. It is important that you know what to do when:
– you need to respond to an emergency call; and
– you make one, so your message can be understood and others know how to respond.

In an emergency, knowledge of distress and safety procedures assists everyone involved in the rescue. The cost is $350.
