LRC – Long Range Certificate / 1 Weekend / In-person or Online

This page was translated automatically from German. View the original

One of the most important communication channels on board is radio. In our LRC course we cover medium- and shortwave equipment as well as communication via INMARSAT satellite.

All skippers who have the relevant equipment installed on board are required to hold a general radio operator's certificate (Long Range Certificate / LRC). It can therefore be advisable, after passing the examination for the SBF See or SKS, to consider radio training.

The LRC course builds on the SRC VHF radio operator's certificate course.

For whom?
For skippers whose vessel is equipped with MF/HF radio or INMARSAT.

Schedule
The LRC course takes place over one weekend, Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The course can also be attended online.

Notes
Each participant has their own simulator for the Sailor 4500 MF/HF radio and CapSat (Inmarsat) equipment throughout the course. Each participant receives a manual with the course content, examination questions and plenty of exercises including solutions.

Examination dates are agreed during the course.
