Ahoy there, Visiting Sailor! Ask us anything—whether you need help choosing a course, have a sailing question, or want to speak to the crew.
After completing the online RYA Marine Radio SRC course, choose an available assessment slot with us or another RYA Recognised Training Centre. We offer scheduled assessment days and can arrange an individual appointment when the published dates are not suitable.
You must be at least 16 on the day of the exam and bring acceptable evidence of course completion or another qualifying radio certificate. You will also need the paperwork requested by the RYA, including a passport-sized photograph.
The RYA exam fee is currently £76 and is separate from any assessment-centre booking charge. Pay the RYA fee before the assessment and bring the resulting application paperwork with you. The official RYA SRC course and exam page has the latest eligibility, payment and document requirements.
The SRC exam must be completed in person at an RYA Recognised Training Centre. An independent examiner assesses both your practical use of a marine VHF radio and your knowledge in a written theory paper; the exam cannot be completed entirely online.
You must be at least 16 on the examination day and provide acceptable evidence of completing an RYA SRC course, an RYA Restricted VHF certificate, or a suitable aviation radio operator certificate. Online-course students should bring their course-completion evidence, the required application paperwork and a passport-sized photograph.
The current RYA exam fee is £76. It is paid to the RYA and is separate from any fee charged by the training centre for hosting or facilitating the assessment. Check the official RYA SRC exam page before booking because fees and administrative requirements can change.
Our scheduled SRC assessment appointments are booked in three-hour slots, with no more than three candidates in each slot. The appointment normally follows this order:
The RYA confirms that the SRC exam contains both a written theory paper and a practical assessment. See the official SRC exam information for current eligibility and payment requirements.
The RYA Marine Radio Short Range Certificate course prepares you to operate fixed or handheld marine VHF and Digital Selective Calling equipment correctly. The course takes around 10 hours plus exam time and can be studied online or in a classroom, but the final exam takes place in person at an RYA Recognised Training Centre.
The SRC is the minimum qualification required to operate marine VHF radio equipment on a voluntarily fitted UK-flagged vessel. See the official RYA course and exam information.
Our scheduled SRC assessments take place in central Guildford, at the lower end of Guildford High Street. The venue is approximately a five-minute walk from Guildford railway station, with parking and tea and coffee available.
You can also take the exam at another RYA Recognised Training Centre if that is more convenient. The RYA requires the practical assessment to take place at a recognised centre; it cannot be completed entirely online. Use the RYA course finder to check other centres and confirm their dates directly with them.
