The club runs courses for all 3 levels of Amateur Radio Licence – Foundation, Standard and Advanced. These take place at the clubrooms at Richmond Hill.
ABOUT OUR COURSES
Foundation courses are the most in demand, and generally run over a weekend, with assessment taking place on the Sunday. The course is fairly intensive, and candidates are expected to obtain and study some recommended material in advance. Guidelines for this study will be sent to you once you have booked in for a course, or on request.
Most interest is in the Foundation Licence. This is the entry level for Ham Radio and gets you on the air quickly. This licence is proving popular with people touring, especially 4WD outback. The first step is to look at the website of the WIA (Wireless Institute of Australia). All the basic info is there.

To get a Foundation licence you must pass a multiple-choice test and a practical examination. (see test hints download below)
A commonly used reference is the WIA book shown above This is available by mail order.
You are strongly advised to study well in advance, so when you come to the course, you will already be familiar with much of the syllabus content. The Radio and Electronics School has comprehensive video courses for foundation and practical available on their site http://www.res.net.au/
