VHF RADIOS HAVE BEEN UPDATED WITH SATELLITE TECHNOLOGY  (GPS)
The certificate to operate VHF or the new VHF-DSC Radios has been upgraded along with Operators’ Course.
This certificate issued by CPS is the
Restricted Radiotelephone Operator’s Certificate (maritime) (ROC)

The VHF Radio Course is now called the
MARITIME RADIO COURSE (VHF)

This course has a written [multiple choice] and oral examination together with a totally new student text /manual and CD.
Module One concerns Regulations, Procedures, and Communication such as distress calls, frequencies, the International Phonetic Alphabet, words and phrases and priority calling.  

Module Two examines Digital Selective Calling (DSC). Pressing the red button instantly sends out a digital description of your location, boat and distress. The CD contains a simulation that allows the student to practice operating a DSC/VHF radio.

We investigate all the features and innovations of VHF-DSC Radios, EPIRBs (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons), NAVTEX receivers, SEARCH AND RESCUE TRANSPONDERS, and practical digital selective calling (DSC) communication exercises. 

There is a course review and an Examination for THE RESTRICTED RADIO OPERATORS CERTIFICATE.  This is not an open book examination. Certificates are issued following the successful completion of the examination.
This course requires study and practice at home. We advise prospective students to register as early as possible to obtain their manual for pre-course reading.
