Get VHF Radio Certified
If you have a VHF radio on board, certification is legally required. It’s the Law. Not having an Restricted Operator Certificate Maritime (ROC-M) can result in significant fines.
With our in-depth course, you’ll gain the skills to:
- communicate clearly,
- call for help instantly,
- and stay connected on the water.
Whether you’re navigating busy marinas or handling an emergency, knowing the right radio procedures makes all the difference.
