RYA VHF Short Range Certificate Course (DSC radios)

Successful completion of the RYA VHF Radio Course will enable you to operate a VHF radio fitted with Digital Selective Calling (DSC).
To use a VHF set legally you must hold, or be under the supervision of someone holding, a valid VHF licence.

There are now 4 ways of obtaining a short range certificate.
    1 - Use the computer based training course from RYA Interactive and then attend an assessment session.
    2 - Attend a full day training course (10 hours) and then attend an assessment with a different instructor on another day.
    3 - Targeted self-study for 3 hours, attend a training course (7 hours) followed by an assessment with another instructor on the same day.
    4 - If you hold a restricted vhf or aviation radio licence you are permitted to attend the assessment without the prior training, though you will need to purchase the course book from the training centre carrying out the assessment

.
The assessment session may be at the same training centre as the training course or at a different centre but in the case of a classroom course it must be carried out by a different instructor.
Surrey Shorebased is able to offer all of these options but the route preferred by most people is option 1 - the RYA Interactive course followed by an assessment session with us.
Routes 2 and 3 will no longer allow us to offer as much flexibility of dates since they both require coordinating the availability of two instructors as well as the students.

There is an associated course book which may be obtained as either a printed version or as an RYA eBook. Before requesting the eBook version we recommend downloading an eBook sample, or "Taster", on your chosen platform which ensures compatibility with your device. Instructions for testing eBooks are here.

Unlike many centres we are happy to offer assessment to students who have trained elsewhere, though this may incur extra administration costs.
A generous amount of time and assistance will be given in getting familiar with the operation of our training radios prior to the assessment.
