Each year the club plan to run an advanced course from September to December each year in time for the RSGB November or December Advanced Exam. Foundation and Intermediate Courses are run from January until August, usually two of each. To see what course we are actually running contact Chris G0EYO g0eyo@blueyonder.co.uk or keep a eye on the News page of the club’s web site.
FOUNDATION COURSE
- Run on demand. This is normally an 8 week course on Monday evenings, The last Monday evening session is the examination.
INTERMEDIATE COURSE
- Also run on demand. This is normally a 9 week course of 10 sessions on a Monday evening with two Saturday mornings for the practical assessments, Where students wish to self-study we can also in certain circumstances provide the practical assessment workshop and the examination. The last Monday evening session is the examination.
ADVANCED COURSE
- Also run on demand. This is normally a 15 week course of 17 sessions, on a Monday evening, with several Saturday mornings and with the examination being taken on a day determined by our national society the Radio Society of Great Britain. Examinations are held every two months and usually commence at 6.30pm in the evening. For our advanced course we aim for the November or December exam but we can provide just the examination facility if students wish to self-study.
