Organising exams RGN B11 B11.1 Marine Radio exams
The Marine Radio SRC Certificate of Competence and Authority to Operate is assessed by an RYA SRC Assessor. It is a statutory qualification for operating marine VHF radios and is also a pre- requisite for other RYA qualifications.
Exams must be carried out at a Recognised Training Centre (RTC) recognised to offer the Marine Radio SRC Course.
Any centre taking a booking for a SRC course is responsible for organising the SRC exam. It is expected that the final exam will take place with the centre that has provided the training. If the exam is to take place at another RTC, this must be pre-arranged, clear to the student at the time of booking and be included in the terms and conditions of that booking. The RTC providing the course is responsible for ensuring the Exam Eligibility Form is passed to the RTC running the exam and the two RTCs must liaise to ensure this happens prior to the exam.
SRC exams must be preceded by the SRC training course, either classroom based or online. RTCs must ensure that the classroom course Assessor signs the Exam Eligibility Form confirming completion, or that online students bring a copy of their completion certificate to the exam so the details can be entered on the Exam Eligibility Form.
Candidates must be 16 years or older on the day of the exam.
Holders of the current RYC/MCA VHF certificate, or a UK aviation radio licence may apply for direct examination at a RTC, but will require the standard student pack. The RYA/MCA VHF certificate number or a photocopy of the aviation radio licence must be submitted with the application.
RTCs must ensure that at least two training radio set are available for each practical exam and that no candidates share a set. RTCs should be familiar with the guidelines issued in TG02-14 SRC Practical Assessment: Guidance for SRC Assessors.
Training and examination of a student must not be run by the same SRC Assessor. Classroom based training will therefore require two Assessors – one to run the training course and one to run the exam.
Online students must be allowed time to familiarise themselves with the centre’s training radios prior to the exam. The examiner should be present for this period to ensure students understand the day’s structure and that students have had sufficient familiarisation time.
Completed examination papers must be held by the centre for five years, or until its next SRC centre inspection, whichever is shorter. Centres should include a statement to this effect within their privacy policy.
