SRC (Radio) course at EDYC 15-16 Feb 2025

MCA/RYA SHORT RANGE CERTIFICATE (VHF GMDSS) COURSE & EXAM: SAT 15-SUN 16 FEB 2025

1. Aim: We aim to deliver this course for up to 8 candidates (aged 16+) at EDYC.

Successful candidates will gain the Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA) authorised Certificate of Competence Short Range Certificate (SRC) – an internationally recognised, life-long qualification. An MCA Certificate gives authority to operate certain fixed or portable marine VHF radios. The course is offered by Killyleagh YC, as EDYC is not recognised to run this itself.

2. Duration: The course comprises of 3 hrs guided home-study; 7 hrs theory and hands-on classroom training using training VHF DSC sets; followed by a practical assessment using radios, and a short written exam.

This course will run:

Sat 15 Feb 0900 – 1700 (classroom-based theory and practical); and

Sun 16 Feb 1300 – 1730 (refresher training, assessment & exam).

3. Cost: £150 per EDYC member candidate (includes £76 MCA Licence & Exam fee, £15 RYA course pack, £59 instruction and equipment costs). This is to be paid at application time, when we provide further details to you.

Please note, it is a tough course, requiring extended periods of concentration – and a minimum of 3 hrs preparation beforehand and possibly some overnight revision.

This will be of interest to: Keelboat owners and crew, Race Officers, Race duty folk, and Instructors afloat.
