LICENSE EXAMS
Our exam team gives exams on alternating Tuesdays and Sundays, so you can schedule your FCC Technician exam within a week of finishing the course. We give IN-PERSON exams in Natick, MA. (Click here if you need an ONLINE exam.) Note that we must collect the standard $15 exam fee for the ARRL VEC separately from the course fee. (Fee is $15 across the country.) (Note: We will pay the exam fee for any full-time student in high-school or younger.)
If you need an online "remote" exam, please see our Amateur Radio License Exam web page. However, we recommend you take the exam in person at a location near you. Much less stressful!
We administer ham radio exams both online and in-person, having proctored nearly 2,000 exams over the past decade. We’ve taught amateur radio classes for over 15 years with tremendous success. Hundreds of people have taken our classes with 99% having passed the exam to become licensed operators. We offer classes for all three levels of ham radio licenses: Technician, General, Amateur Extra, as well as Morse Code.
