Sample Exam QuestionsThe practical will be an actual roll play call on two VHF channels which demonstrates how to log your vessel in and out with Coast Guard.
Because the certificate is internationally recognised, an assessment examination must be completed. This comprises of a 25 (VHF) & 50 (VHF/MF/HF) multiple choice question exam paper. A pass rate of 70% is required.
This takes approximately an hour to complete on the following Sunday 11th October, starting at 08:30.
Along with your certificate application, you need to supply a standard passport photograph which is impregnated into a credit card size id card.
