You need to do a one day course and pass an exam at the end of it.
You will then get a Maritime Radio Operator Certificate of Competence (short range certificate). You need this and to register with Ofcom to be legal.
Courses tend to cost £60- £100 and are run all over the country.

Hi Fishyyak
If you not got your VHF license yet, I'm arranging a course to get one, just need more names on the list before I can arrange a date.
If you're interested could you add your name to the list, then I know who to contact nearer the time.
Thanks
Mark

You could put me down Mark - already got my long range cert from my sailing days which should cover VHF as well but it was a good few years ago now so a refresher would do no harm.  Martin |
