Training courses for RNLI crews
Staff from the RNLI in Jersey are receiving instruction to use essential communications systems.

The RNLI has nine training units which provide courses in first aid, radio, radar and navigation, and seamanship.

The training will include a radio system, using touch-screen technology which simulates all types of search and rescue communications.

Jersey crew members are also studying for short and long range radio communications qualifications.

Some members already have certificates but are taking the course as a refresher.
