Both courses are the full and complete VHF, MF/HF, DSC courses that encompass the requirements for recreational boaters. Many recreational boaters choose to participate in the course particularly if they are the owner of a VHF radio or regularly go boating off-shore.

Either certificate can meet the requirements for a commercial crew licence for a Coxswain Grade 1 and the LROCP course is a compulsory requirement for a Master <24 nationally and internationally.

Marine Radios are available in 27 MHz, VHF and MF/HF. To operate a VHF, MF/HF radio (most of these radios are licensed) you must have a certificate. The course provides knowledge of the phonetic alphabet, fault-finding, maintenance, call signs, frequencies, and importantly the operational procedures and words to be used.
