Amateur Radio Foundation Course/Exam - Q1 2013

[tgreer]

Hi all.

We're looking at running another Foundation Licence course in the new year, as well as exams.

If you're interested on being on the course please fill out the form: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dFZlemx2akR1R1B1aFZjeG40ZEl3eVE6MQ

Once we have some numbers we'll try and sort some dates.

Some info:

There is a fee of £35.00 for the course, or £30.00 if you already have a copy of 'Foundation Licence - NOW!'. You must ensure your book is the latest revision, as it is updated from time to time. These costs will not be covered by the Hackspace.

To take this course and the exam, you will need the following:

• A copy of the latest edition of Foundation Licence - NOW!
  • If you're enrolled on the course, this is available for a cost of £5.00 directly from the Hackspace
• A current passport, photo ID driving licence, or other legal document showing name, photo, printed name and signature
  • If you're under 16, you must let us know in advance as we'll require signed documentation from a parent/guardian
• £30 exam fee (payable in advance, you'll have information on how to pay the fee in your 'course acceptance' email
• A basic, silent, non-programmable (ideally scientific) calculator
  • This one is ideal
• Pens/Pencils, including a blue or black ink pen for the exam
• Something to take notes on (paper, iPad, slate, etc.)

NB: Replies to this thread will be ignored. If you don't fill the form out, you don't get to do the course/exam!

Just throwing this back up to the top. We're looking to run this in January over 2 Saturdays.

Please fill out the form if you're interested.

Can I send you a photograph as evidence that my paperwork was signed
off, so I can just sit the exam? I dont think I can get up to to show
you in person till the date of the exam.

also:

I dont have a copy of the book as it wasn't mandatory the first time
the course was run, as I read the copy that was in the space.
Will I need to get my hands on a copy for the exam even thought I'm
all signed off on the training?

No, because we'll likely need to verify that you have in fact got it
signed off by a registered assessor, so we need to see the original
ASAP.

If you're just sitting the exam, then the book isn't required - all
the required materials are provided to you in the exam.

I seriously doubt the copy in the space is up to date so I wouldn't
rely on it for the course (but it's probably fine for quick revision
prior to the exam)

Incidentally, if it's any easier for you - I'm over at Brick Lane
today so you're welcome to come and find me and I'll examine the
practical card and make the relevant enquiries with the RSGB for you.
If this is useful, drop me a mail offlist.

Thanks

Jon

Is this still happening # been awefully quiet

[Jon Fautley]

Not at this time. There will be a posting to the list when the new
course dates are sorted out.

Thanks

Jon
