Take the VHF Radio Course (SRC) online, when it suits you and where it suits you. The course covers routine communications and emergency situations like distress, urgency, and safety.

Friendly and efficient office support

I have completed competent crew, theory/practice day skipper and VHF courses with First Class Sailing. All were conducted to the highest standard, with excellent very experienced instructors. Easy booking online, plus friendly and efficient office support when needed. Will use First Class Sailing again.
