Marine Radio Courses

General Course Info

Have you always wanted to know how to use your marine radio properly? Did you know that all VHF radio operators are required to hold an operator’s license?

Wayne is a registered Invigilator with the Australian Maritime College, Tasmania and uses radios extensively in both his work and leisure pursuits.

Wayne has the teaching background and experience to make a radio course interesting and beneficial for all recreational and commercial boat owners. He will provide you with the practical skills and background knowledge to use your radio with confidence and keep you and your crew safer on the water.

During the course you will use VHF radios, practice a Log On and be part of a Mayday scenario. You may choose to sit the Short Range Operator’s Certificate of Proficiency ( SROCP-VHF only ) or the Long Range Operator’s Certificate of Proficiency ( LROCP-VHF/MF/HF commercial qualification ) exam.

Note: the LROCP is an international license satisfying commercial qualifications for Coxswain and Master Class V.

Course Requirement

The minimum age to sit for the SROCP or LROCP Marine Radio license is 16 years.

Once you have booked in your course, Wayne will email his customised marine radio summary notes for pre reading. These provide an introduction to the course content and are also a very useful resource once the course is finished.

You will need:

  • Course summary notes
  • passport size photo
  • snacks, drinks and a willingness to learn

Wayne will provide all writing resources as well as a Marine Radio Handbook.

Course Structure

This is not just a theory based course! Wayne utilises a combination of teaching strategies including PowerPoint presentations, phonetic alphabet learning techniques, word association handouts, oral revision exercises, scenarios and includes the actual use of marine radios to ensure you not only successfully pass the theory test, but leave feeling confident to use a marine radio in your day to day boating life.

Course duration

Both Marine Radio courses are a minimum of 6 hours which can be conducted during one full day or two half day/evenings, depending on your availability.

Testimonials

Thank you Wayne for today you did a fantastic job. I was very impressed what a great little business you have got. My wife and daughter, she is only 12, if you haven’t already retired in a couple of years, will send them to do the course. Once again thank you- Mark Fitzgerald

Hi Wayne, how are ya,

I was just checking the pigeons and thought it was a good moment to thank you for the great course yesterday. Particularly the boat launch.  Now  I can show my son, Django, some good methods  for the operation. Django expects to meet you in one year and two months .

Hope to catch up with you sometimes,

Regards

Just did a refresher course with Wayne and really had a great time. He brought back so many things I had forgotten and taught me a lot of new boating skills. This guy really knows his stuff, so is you haven’t got a skippers ticket or need to know about boats, contact him, you’ll be glad you did.

Wayne and Viv,

Many thanks for your training and assessment I undertook today. To find a team like you with a passion and love of what they do is a real hoot. Trust our paths cross again some day.

Hi Wayne. I am still a buzz with the info session you rolled out to me today. I cannot believe I remembered so much and am thankful I booked my skippers ticket through your company. I would also like to thank you both for your hospitality today. I will be spreading the word as much as I can.
Kind Regards,

Wayne is an excellent teacher, he made our day enjoyable and informative. We all felt we learnt a lot, even those that had been on the water for years. I highly recommend investing in Sea Soaring Marine!
