How does the VHF or SRC examination take place?
FAQ
Access to the examination room is only granted upon presentation of your ID card.
The VHF examination consists of 20 multiple choice questions about the subject matter covered by the
preparation manual
for the examination to obtain the radiotelephone operator’s restricted certificate. To pass the exam one has to score 60%. No exemptions are granted on the subject matter.
If you wish a printed version of the
VHF manual
, please transfer €20 on the account IBAN BE68 6791 7078 16 34 (BIC: GEBABEBB) with the communication “VHF Manual” and send a copy of the proof of payment per e-mail to
maritime@ibpt.be
.
The SRC examination consists of 33 multiple choice questions (23 SRC and 10 VHF) about the subject matters covered by the examination programme. To pass the exam one has to score 60% for each subject matter. No exemptions are granted on subject matters.
Roaming
Pages
Roaming is when you use mobile phone services (calls, text messages and mobile internet) while travelling abroad: you call (or send an SMS or MMS) to a fixed or mobile number in the country where you are. Roaming should not be confused with international calls (calls made and SMS messages sent from Belgium to a foreign number) because, in the case of intra-EU calls, the tariffs may be higher than those for roaming within the EU.
Information to be provided to the BIPT
Pages
In any case, companies contacted by the BIPT for this purpose are required to respond to its requests within the specified time limits.
