Is The Vhf Radio Course Test Hard?

[shefford]

Am looking at doing t he course up in Brisbane and reading the passing mark of 70%.

Is it hard? What does the course entail?

Just a bit worried about 27meg range vs vhf range/channels.

Still can't decide ahh

There is a fair bit to cover in the test , but if you study the resource material provided , you should get by OK .

G'day Iricangi,

The test isn't hard. There's a lot to learn but I did mine with Sydney Coast Guard and they made sure we all covered the important bits repeatedly.

The course covers a lot... important radio frequencies, radio use & procedures, batteries (yep, even batteries), epirbs, etc.

The test is a multi choice from memory. Once you get the qualification, you have it for life with no ongoing license fees.

It's pretty easy really. I went into the test a little nervous but found I could zip through it fast because the trainers had made sure we new all the right stuff.

Cheers, Slinky
