There are 3 different licences (Foundation Intermediate and Advanced)

You must start with the foundation licence.

Foundation Licence

Getting started.

The Foundation Licence has been designed and introduced for people of all ages and abilities. To take the associated training course you do not need to have any formal qualifications to be able to benefit from this interesting hobby.

The aim of the Foundation Licence is to facilitate a simple entry into Amateur Radio as a hobby where you will be able to make friends from all walks of life. We hope that as experience and confidence increases, Foundation Licensees will progress up the Amateur Radio ladder to obtain a more advanced Amateur Licence, with all the attendant privileges.

What do I need?

All you need is a will to learn a few basic things and so far we have had a nearly 100% success rate.

There is a course book (ISBN: 1872309801) that can be acquired from the RSGB or WHSmiths or we can supply it from here.

What will it cost?As the Training Centre here in Wyke Regis is run by volunteers, all we ask is that those attending a course pay the set fee for the exam and an administration cost of £10.

The cost of the foundation exam is just £20

The course book that is needed is less than £5.

If anyone wishes to contribute something towards the tea, coffee, lighting and heating, we do have a 'pot' where you can put your donation.

Who do i contact?

All you need do now is contact someone at the Training Centre and they will do the rest
You can E-mail Neville (M5NEV)

What Now?

Neville will take your details and you will be contacted as soon as a place on the next course is available.
