Training
Cape Lazo offers several types of training to meet your schedule and learning style:
In-classroom sessions
Our dedicated instructors love the water and to share their experience with students.
Based on local demand, courses usually run weekly in the evening.
Online
Course material is available online 24/7. This is a cohort-based format with a specific start and end date. You will take the course with a specific group of fellow students. There will be an online meeting one evening per week to answer questions that students may have. You may also have one on one meetings with a local tutor to cover topics that are more challenging to teach and learn online.
Self study
Self-study courses cover all of the elements of the course material. Each section includes course notes, instructional videos, knowledge checks – skill-testing quizzes and exercises, and links to supporting resources. An optional final exam and completion certificate is also available.
Courses offered
These courses are always in our regular schedule & we always try to schedule additional sessions based on student interest:
PCOC – always available online.
ROCM – Radio Operator Certificate Marine – several sessions each spring in preparation for boating season
Classroom sessions – regularly, throughout the year we offer ROCM review and testing. You learn and review the course material independently, learn the radio alphabet and join us for an in-class review prior to the license test, provided the same day by our certified examiners. You will receive a
temporary license that day and receive your final license directly from the CanBoat National offices later by mail.
Self-study – You may choose to study independently online. This course is available virtually on our web-based Moodle study platform. The course is available to you 24/7 for a period of sixty days. There are no live instructors. Just follow the sequence of study modules including many video demonstrations on how to use a VHF and MF marine radio. It is fun and you will learn fast. Register anytime with your credit card and get started.
Upon registration, you will receive email confirmation, which will include a URL link where you can start the radio course. Log in with the same username and password as for your CanBoat account. When you have completed the online exam, and are ready to take the oral test, contact your CanBoat-CapeLazo and request to arrangement for a mutually convenient time for the testing.
