VHF
Radio Course
It is required that operators of a vessel based in
Canadian waters with a VHF radiotelephone must possess a Restricted
Operator’s Certificate certified by Industry Canada. This
is necessary information for all VHF radio operators. It
is imperative that you can communicate with the Coast Guard
efficiently and clearly in an emergency or a serious situation.
Any
person who operates a radio in the Marine Bands without the
appropriate certificate or authorization is liable, upon summary
conviction, to a penalty not to exceed five thousand dollars
($5,000.00) and or imprisonment for a term not to exceed twelve (12)
months.
Our VHF radio course

Certificate - Maritime is a home-study program. The
