VHF Radio Operators Course – Navathome

Short Range Radio Operators Certificate Of Proficiency Including Exam and Invigilation
The VHF Marine Radio is the most commonly installed radio equipment on marine vessels. It is the corner stone of radio communication and provides an essential safety service. The radio has numerous benefits over the handy mobile phone including increased range, wide area broadcasting, and not reliant on a third party network. In many areas, it is now a requirement that a vessel going more than a few natuical miles offshore is required to have a VHF radio onboard, and if a VHF radio is installed, you are required to have a VHF license. You are also required to have a VHF license in order to register a vessel with an MMSI number.

The NAVatHOME Australia VHF Radio Operators Course is the only course that uses interactive speech recognition with realistic simulated systems to allow you to actually practice your broadcasts, gain confidence, and get a response appropriate to your call. It is also the only online course that goes through a simulated setup of a DSC radio AND then use DSC to interact with another radio – things that you can not do in the real world for practice. It is an incredible bit of fun, and as close as you can get to working with a real radio without having one!

To obtain the SRROCP, you will need to complete the Australian Maritime College issued multiple choice exam and a practical demonstration.
