If you are a Commercial Coxswain, or intending to submit your marine qualification application to the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) for the issue of your Coxswain Ticket, then please follow the easy steps below.
Thanks so much for having this online. It was much easier than I thought and it didn’t take that long either, just a couple of hours of study and good value as well.
Coxswains’ Please Note:
You can apply for either the Short Range (VHF) (SROCP) or Long Range (LROCP) licence. We recommend the LROCP because the cost is the same for either licence. Neither are difficult to obtain however if you complete only the SROCP and need to obtain the LROCP for some reason in the future (i.e. obtaining a Master <24 qualification etc) then you have to pay the course fees again.
The Office of Maritime Communications (OMC) (who issue the licence) do not have an upgrade facility. It is either one licence or the other.
Please also enrol early. The OMC state on their website that the issue of the licence can take up to 15 working days after the exam is completed. For additional information please use this link: marine radio licence
