VHF Radio Courses - MROVCP MITS

VHF RADIO COURSES

Marine and Industrial Training Services conduct regular VHF radio courses in our Osborne Park premises. We also can come to you if you have a group of people interested in obtaining their MROVCP.

We supply all the necessary materials and equipment but you will need to provide some photographic identification, and a passport type photograph.

Please contact us to obtain details and costs of our next course.

Marine and Industrial Training Services are agents for GME products and are able to offer attractive details on most of their range.
