ROCA Course Strengthens Maritime Communication Skills for Aspiring Skippers


A specialized ROCA training course is playing a key role in preparing candidates for the PER Recreational Skipper license, equipping them with essential knowledge to operate maritime communication systems safely and effectively. Held at a radio classroom in Port Olímpic, Barcelona, the program combines theoretical instruction with hands-on practice to build confidence in real-world navigation scenarios.


The course features practical sessions using advanced simulators, allowing participants to work with ship radios, VHF and HF equipment, and digital selective calling systems. These exercises help trainees understand how to manage essential communication tools used in daily maritime operations.


In addition to technical training, the program covers critical safety protocols, including the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System procedures and radiotelephone operations for distress, urgency, and safety messages. Participants also learn to use the International Phonetic Alphabet to ensure clear and accurate communication at sea.


By the end of the course, students are expected to demonstrate competence in maritime communication, adhering to international regulations and operational standards. The training ultimately prepares them to become responsible skippers capable of maintaining safe and efficient communication between vessels and coastal stations.
