VHF Radio
Restricted Operator Certificate ROC (M)
& Digital Selective Calling (DSC)

REGISTER ONLINE HERE!

 
This course is required by law to legally operate a VHF radio on pleasure craft or on non-pleasure passenger vessels and commercial vessels operating 25 miles or less from shore

VHF / DSC  is a vital piece of safety equipment allowing you to receive safety messages put out by other boaters and the Coast Guard. Get the latest weather report and talk to your friends. Call the Coast Guard in case of an emergency or check in with a marina to reserve a slip for the night. Don't depend on your cell phone in the case of an emergency, other boaters can't hear your call for HELP!

The course is one full day (8 hours) and entails home study along with a practical session simulating emergencies on the water using proper radio etiquette.
 
At the end of the course you will be able to communicate and summon help from the Coast Guard with the VHF radio, using proper radio procedure. 
 
QuickNAV VHF instructors are certified by Industry Canada to administer the exam at the end of the course. Upon passing the course a temporary licence will be issued followed up by your lifetime credit card-style Restricted Operators Certificate (Maritime)  ROC - M  with DSC endorsement.
