Revise procedure before memorising wording
The important skill is choosing the correct priority, channel, structure, and information. Once that is clear, the wording becomes easier to remember.

RYA Marine Radio SRC revision
Marine Radio Revision is an independent companion for learners preparing for the RYA Short Range Certificate. It focuses on recall, procedure, and spoken radio confidence between your course and assessment.
Use the free modules first, then unlock all notes, quizzes, flashcards, mock practice, and the scenario trainer for one payment.
Practise the calls out loud
Radio confidence is partly muscle memory. Use the scenario trainer to build the call, compare the expected phrase order, then record yourself locally and listen back.
Keep the official assessment separate
This site helps you revise. The actual SRC exam and certification remain with the RYA and recognised exam centres.
Common questions
Is this an official RYA course?
No. It is an independent revision companion for learners preparing for the RYA Marine Radio SRC course and exam.
Does it include spoken practice?
Yes. The simulator asks you to build routine, distress, urgency, safety, and DSC follow-up calls, then compare your wording with the expected transmission.
Can I use it before attending a course?
Yes. It is useful before or after training, but it does not replace recognised instruction or the official assessment.
