What Do We Do That Is Different From Other VHF Training Centres?
The 4 Options Available For Undertaking The RYA VHF Course
The course can be done online, completed in your own time. Then you have to attend our SRC(VHF) radio course centre to sit a written and practical examination on real radios after a period of familiarisation with them.
The SRC (VHF) course can be completed over 10 hours at our VHF radio training centre in Glasgow followed by an examination by an independent examiner which takes approximately an hour. Effectively the course and exam have to be done over 2 days.
If we send you 3 hours of homework, fairly simple stuff, we can cut the classroom work time completed at our VHF radio course training centre in Glasgow to 7 hours immediately followed by the examination. This means we can complete the course in one day. We find that most people are choosing this option that come to do their VHF radio course at our centre in Glasgow
.
Book the course online, come to us to do the course, we provide a laptop and a classroom for your use and there are real radios there for you to familiarise yourself with once you finish your course online. Then we can get straight into your exam. Some candidates prefer this option because it gets them away from any distractions and they can undertake the course in the peace and quiet of one of our classrooms.

Essential to completing any passage safely in any vessel is to have the ability to communicate to other vessels and the Coastguard when you have a problem or a serious situation to deal with.
A VHF radio has always been an effective means to communicate to others that we have a problem or indeed for routine communications, in your VHF radio course in Glasgow we use real radios to practise on.
Things have moved on as changes in technology are applied to modern communication devices. We can now send a Distress Alert (a mayday by text) simply by pressing a button on the fascia of modern VHF radios. This will automatically be repeated every 4 minutes to save you valuable time.
The use of the Distress Alert button is now recognised to be one of the most effective methods of getting help.
