Festa: VHF Marine Radio Courses 2018

UPDATE: The course dates for the 3rd, 4th March and the 9th, 10th March have been cancelled due to reduced numbers. The course is currently being run on the 6th and 7th of April.

The Clontarf Yacht & Boat Club is pleased to run again the VHF Radio Operator Course.

The aim of the course, is to provide trainees understanding (practical and theoretical) of VHF communication (Very High Frequency Radio) at sea. The course includes training, preparation and examination for VHF radio license, required by the Irish Government.

All skippers and power-boat/rescue-boat skippers must be licensed radio-operators. Crews on yachts and rescue craft are also encouraged to learn and become licensed operators as well. This is a valuable skill on all marine craft.

The course requires 1 evening and 1 full day of training. There are three possible weekend available. Homework and pre-study will be provided which is recommended to complete.

This course is open to both members and non-members of Clontarf Yacht & Boat Club.

Full details of the course can be found on the Club's website here:
