Course Description

  • The RYA VHF Online course is an online course supported by an RYA SRC/VHF instructor, followed by an assessment that takes between 30 minutes and 1 hour. The assessment can be held at our classroom in Sivota  / Lefkada or any other RYA Recognised Centre (SRC/VHF Recognition). There is an exam fee of £70 (Pounds) which is paid directly to the RYA.
  • Once you book your RYA VHF Online course with theoryMode we will send you the VHF RADIO (including GMDSS) Course e-Handbook G31 to read and you will get access to the RYA interactive website. At the end of the online course, you will receive an RYA SRC Certificate of online course completion which allows you to participate in the practical exams. The assessment takes about 1 hour, during which you will be tested on your homestudy and course content.
  • This course is ideal for skippers and crews of sailing yachts who want to hold an SRC radio operator’s license, to operate a short-range marine VHF radio with DSC (Digital Selective Calling). The SRC Radio operator’s license is a legal requirement for marine VHF users throughout the world and also one of the requirements for participating in RYA / MCA Yachtmaster practical exams.
