SRC exams comprise a written theory exam and assessment in the practical use of marine VHF radios. Most candidates complete the RYA VHF course prior to taking the exam, therefore the majority of exams take place at the end of the course. In winter, due to our planning restrictions on after dark activity, exams may take place at a different location in the village.
