Course programme

The Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) became operational on the 1st of February 1999. And an increasing amount of GMDSS VHF equipment is now available for small craft.

To prepare sailors for VHF communications in the GMDSS era, the MCA/RYA have introduced the GMDSS Short Range Radio Certificate (SRC). The SRC has replaced the VHF Operator's Certificate and is now the minimum radio qualification examined in UK. (existing holders of VHF radio operator certificates are still legal to operate, but must update to SRC if they fit or operate GMDSS equipment)

The SRC is a mandatory qualification for operators on small craft fitted with VHF Digital Selective Calling (DSC).
