VHF Radio Licence

VHF Radio Licence
AUD $250.00
  • Duration: 2 Hours
  • Location: Balmain, NSW
  • Product code: VHFLIC
Class and exam takes about 2 hours. We cover some basic theory then provide a practical session on using a radio. The last hour is reserved for the exam. 


On signing up we will send you links to the online resources for you to study.   It is important you read these and feel comfortable with the material prior to the session.  The exam is closed book.

You will need to provide a photo on the night - you can email this to us or we can take one at the session.   You will also need to bring a photo ID to show to the Liquid Edge Sailing School Invigilator.  

Your exam will be done online through the Office of Maritime Communications (OMC)/Australian Maritime College (AMC) portal.  To register you for your online exam, we will require your date of birth.  Please include this when booking.  If you don't feel comfortable doing this, ring us direct so we can provide this information to AMC.  Once registered, AMC will send you a link to access the portal, please ensure you have your password with you at the session.  You are welcome to bring your own electronic device (e.g ipad, phone).  We will also have devices available.  In the event there is a problem with the portal we will undertake a paper exam which will be sent to the AMC for marking prior to the issuing of the Licence. 

The License usually takes about 2 - 2.5 weeks to arrive.  AMC will send it to you directly. 

In addition to the session, the cost includes all AMC fees.  You will also be provided with a hardcopy of the VHF Handbook at your session for you to keep.

Face to face courses run every 2 months, contact us direct if scheduled dates don't suit and we will work out a mutual time to conduct a session.
