The course fee includes the official RYA Marine Radio Short Range Certificate (SRC) online course together with the RYA VHF Handbook (eBook). When you successfully complete this course, you can apply to take the UK RYA/MCA Certificate of Competence in Radiotelephony GMDSS SRC exam at the Boat School. The SRC examination is a face-to-face exam.

Assessment

This course includes an online assessment and certificate. You will need to complete the course and pass the assessment to be eligible to take the SRC practical and written exam.

The fee for the SRC exam is not included in the price for this course. Although you can take your RYA SRC exam with an examiner at the Boat School, you will need to book the exam and pay the fee directly to the RYA.

The SRC is intended for use in vessels of under 300 gross registered tons which voluntarily fit GMDSS equipment.
