Knowledge of the correct use of a marine radio is not only essential for the safety of all on board, but also required by law. 

An operator of a marine very high frequency (VHF) radio must hold a Short-Range Operator Certificate of Proficiency (‘SROCP’).  Many vessels are now equipped with a VHF marine radio with Digital Selective Calling (‘DSC’) capabilities, and AIS transceivers.  This equipment requires registration with the Australian Maritime Safety Authority who issues the vessel an MMSI number to enable these capabilities.  An applicant for an MMSI must hold a SROCP.  

An operator of a medium or high frequency marine radio must hold the Long-Range Operator Certificate of Proficiency (‘LROCP’), and this also covers VHF marine radio operation as above.  

On the one-day marine radio course, in our classroom in Manly, Queensland, you will learn the safe and proper use of radio equipment and sit either the SROCP or LROCP exam.  An Operators Handbook is provided to you in advance of the course.
