Knowledge and ability to use the ship's radio and possess skills of radio communications with other vessels and ports.
One of the major steps in your preparation for your yachting training will be the course of the marine radio operator: VHF in the frame of the program offered for sailors and yachtsmen.
Every professional sailor should know how to use the radio and communicate with other vessels on the sea. How to call a rescue service in an emergency. How to request a place for mooring in marina. What service channels you should set in the radio to receive information about weather forecasts or distress calls, to communicate with the rescue and coastal services, managers of ports and marinas. In the process of training you will also learn the abbreviated codes of the English alphabet for the verbal designation of letters. You will learn how to work with a portable and stationary radio on the sea. During the training radio communications with other vessels of the training flotilla you will master all nuances of a radio operator job.
VHF/SRC certificate is required upon receipt of Offshore Skipper and Master of Yacht license.
The course involves the skills of working with ship's and portable VHF-radio stations. Fluent communication with nearby and distant vessels and the is lead in English as well as distress signals, alerts, and weather forecasts.
While taking a yacht in charter you will 100% need a skipper certificate. The radio operator's certificate is asked only in some countries.
This document is often requested by charter companies in such countries as Croatia and Thailand.
In Greece and Turkey, you do not need a certificate of VHF/SRC operator, but this knowledge is certainly needed before renting a yacht.
