Frequently asked questions
How many errors can you have on the VHF exam?
The VHF exam has 35 questions and you can have a maximum of 7 errors — at least 28 of 35 must be correct, which corresponds to 80% accuracy.
How long does the VHF exam take?
You have 90 minutes for the theory part of the exam. The practical radio-operation part is taken separately with an approved examiner.
Who runs the VHF exam and how much does it cost?
Telenor Maritim Radio conducts the ordinary VHF/SRC exam on behalf of Nkom, and the Norwegian Maritime Authority (Sjøfartsdirektoratet) is the responsible authority. The price is set by the organiser – check with Telenor Maritim Radio for the current price.
Do I need a VHF certificate to use a marine radio?
Yes. To operate a VHF radio on a leisure or commercial vessel you need an SRC (Short Range Certificate). The certificate is personal and valid for life, but rules are updated regularly so a refresher is useful.
What is the difference between MAYDAY, PAN-PAN and SECURITE?
MAYDAY is used when there is grave and imminent danger to life and immediate help is required. PAN-PAN is an urgency call for a serious but not immediately life-threatening situation. SECURITE is a safety message warning of navigational or weather hazards.
