This nationally recognised qualification is required for those operating both VHF and MF/HF marine radios, and highly recommended for anyone pursuing recreational maritime training.

Increasingly race organisers are requiring crews in long distance sailing, whether that is cruising or racing, to hold this certification.

The qualification is a mandatory requirement for all commercial maritime operators in Australia.
