The course can be a little "intense" since we cover the entire ARRL video course in
just two Saturdays. Instructors are available for clarification and to help
students with any concepts that may seem difficult. However, it is
expected that the student will prepare for the exam by also reviewing the "Ham
Radio License Manual" or other study aids. We also encourage students to take
online practice exams to familiarize themselves with the questions and how they
will be presented in the actual exam.
The class size is limited so please make a reservation by contacting the instructor. Note: Participants are encouraged to arrive a few minutes early so we can start promptly.
