Sarah and myself signed up for the RYA SRC(Short Range Course) course, this is the renamed VHF radio course we did this with Sea Training Sussex based down at Eastbourne Marina, the home port of our rib.
The course consits of 2 parts the first being the correct manner into using the radio for voice calls, and the second part for using the DSC(Digotal Selective Calling). The second part is the new part of the old VHF Radio course. One of the great advantage of using DSC is if there is an emergency onboard then by simply pressing the DSC button on the radio this will alert the Coastgard that you need assistance.
At the end of the course you have to complete a test however this isn't that bad and then you'll be awarded the RYA SRC Cert.
