Refresh your skills and get certified in one day – 100% online. Course created in collaboration with a national ITU authority and the Latvian Coast Guard.
Why SkipperCheck?
- This is not a beginner’s course. It is intended for experienced VHF radio users who wish to refresh their skills and formally recertify their knowledge.
- Operate with Confidence – know exactly what to say in any situation, from routine marina calls to real emergencies.
- Developed in official collaboration with the Electronic Communications Office of Latvia — an ITU-member authority — and aligned with CEPT/ERC/REC 31-04 standards.
- Fast & Flexible – study anytime, anywhere. Most skippers finish in less than a day.
- Issued as a lifetime certificate – no expiry or renewal required.
- International Recognition – trusted by charter companies, insurers, and flag state registries.
- Aligned with Authorities – master the exact knowledge that coastguards and MRCC expect you to know.
