Description

The Maritime Radio Course covers proper use of the Maritime Radio, how to handle Distress, Urgency and Safety Communications, use of the Phonetic Alphabet and much more.  Also includes the DSC (Digital Selective Calling) which is the latest advances in Maritime Radio communications, which also covers other systems that are part of the International Global Maritime Distress and Safety System ( GMDSS ), thus enhancing your rescue in an emergency.

Upon Successful Completion of the Exam you will be given a Temporary Pink Operators Copy which is good for 90 days.  Meantime CPS will be sending you the Lifetime Restricted Radiotelephone Operators Certificate ( ROC ) as soon as they receive the information....within the 90 days.  Industry Canada has designated the authority to Canadian Power Squadrons to certify Maritime Radio Operators on voluntarily fitted vessels.

The Restricted Operator Certificate (Maritime-ROC(M)) is required by anyone using a marine radio (Significant fines if found using a VHF or Marine Radio without your card)
