The ROCA course is an essential training for obtaining the PER Recreational Skipper license and equips you with the knowledge and skills to operate maritime communication devices safely and effectively. Conducted at our radio classroom in Port Olimpic Barcelona, the course combines theoretical lessons with practical exercises using simulators, ensuring you gain confidence in handling ship radios, VHF and HF equipment, and digital selective calling systems. This training is crucial for communication between vessels and coastal stations and for understanding the protocols needed for safe navigation. Participants will also learn the fundamentals of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System procedures, radiotelephone operations for distress urgency and safety, and the use of the International Phonetic Alphabet. By the end of the course, you will have developed the ability to exchange communications relating to safety at sea while adhering to mandatory maritime regulations and operating procedures, making you a competent and responsible skipper.
