RYA ESSENTIAL NAVIGATION & SEAMANSHIP COURSE
This course acts as a great refresher for more experienced crew before the in-depth course.
Course topics include:
VHF
The RYA Short Range Certificate (SRC) is the minimum qualification required by law to control the operation of VHF and GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System) VHF Digital Selective Calling (DSC) equipment on any British flagged vessel voluntarily fitted with a radio.
This includes both fixed and hand held equipment using International channels.
A VHF radio is an important piece of safety equipment on board and it is vital to understand the correct procedures. Unnecessary transmissions could block out a Mayday distress call.
PROFESSIONAL PRACTICES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Professional Practices and Responsibilities (PPR) is a compulsory online course for new and re validating applicants for RYA Commercial Endorsement to support a skipper’s Certificate of Competence. You do the course in your own time and can start as soon as you are registered.
All new applicants applying for Commercial Endorsement holding one of the certificates below are required to complete the online PPR course.
Following the modules, there is a mock assessment so you can check you are ready before moving on to the final graded online assessment.
