You Will Need Three of Our Certificates to be a Licensed Small Vessel Operator

SVOP - Small Vessel Operator Proficiency Certificate

The SVOP is a Transport Canada certification to operate a small commercial boat (less than 5 tones). Typically passenger boats or work boats.

SDV-BS - Small Domestic Vessel Basic Safety Certificate (formerly MED A3)

SDV-BS is all about how to deal with emergencies on boats including fires, distress signals, man overboard and more.

ROC M - Restricted Operator Certificate for Maritime Radio

A ROC certificate specifically for maritime radio is required for anyone operating a marine VHF radion within 25 miles of shore.

Each certificate is a separate course.

To be a captain on a small boat you will generally need all 3 courses

At Datum Marine we make our classes relevant to small commercial vessel operators within the confines of the Transport Canada SVOP/SDV-BS (MED A3) and Industry Canada curriculums
