Marine VHF certification
The VHF SRC (Short Range Certificate) is a Certificate of Competence and Authority to Operate, granted by the Secretary of State. It is the minimum qualification required to operate VHF Radio equipment on a UK Flagged Vessel, including fixed, handheld, DSC and non-DSC radios.
RYA SRC Exams
After you’ve completed training, you’ll need to sit an RYA exam to obtain a VHF Short Range Certificate (SRC). Candidates can elect to take the VHF SRC exam at any accredited RYA Marine SRC centre – even if you’ve completed your training elsewhere, or online.
