You
MUST do this
ASAP so as to have time to
complete the reading assignment prior to the first class session.
ANY
student showing up without a manual at the first class session will NOT
be allowed to continue with the class.
There will be a
reading assignment for each class session. Prior to the first class, you
MUST READ (not just skim
through) Chapters 1-5.
ALSO - Review ALL of the questions in the Blue Box in each section.
This is an
INTENSIVE course. If you
feel that you cannot attend ALL sessions, on-time and complete each
reading assignment, then this class is not for you!
It is vital that you
arrive on-time for each session. We will not backtrack for any late
arrivals. Please try to arrive a little early for the first session.
You will be tested at
the fifth class session and will need to answer 26 questions correctly,
from a test consisting of 35 questions drawn from a pool of 392
questions. All answers will be multiple choice. You DO NOT need to know
Morse Code to qualify for an Amateur Radio license.
Students will be given
relevant handouts at each session and must bring pen(s) and/or pencil(s)
for note taking.
There are several
on-line sites for taking practice exams. This is a good way to become
more familiar with the material at your leisure:
The fee, payable at
the time of the testing session, is $12.00. Please have correct change!
If you pass the
Technician Class exam, you will be given the opportunity to take the
General Class exam, at no additional charge. However, if you do not pass
the Technician Class exam, you may be, at the discretion of the testing
team, permitted to retake the test with the payment of an additional
$12.00 testing fee.
Students not passing
the Technician Class exam on 4 May, will be offered a special tutoring
session on 11 May 2010 at the class site. This is to better prepare
students to retake the exam on 19 May, in Goose Creek, SC.
