Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our ham radio license courses

Most students complete the Technician license course in 4-6 weeks with regular study. The General course typically takes 6-8 weeks, and the Extra course 10-12 weeks. However, you can progress at your own pace—some dedicated students complete a level in as little as 2 weeks of intensive study.

No prior knowledge or equipment is needed to start learning! Our beginner-friendly courses assume no background in electronics or radio. You don't need any radio equipment until after you're licensed. A computer with internet access is all you need to take our courses.

License exams are offered by volunteer examiner teams throughout the country. Many teams now offer online remote testing options. Our course includes information on finding exam sessions near you, and we provide direct links to both in-person and remote exam options when you're ready to test.

Technician: Entry-level license granting privileges mainly on VHF/UHF bands and limited HF privileges. Great for local communication, getting started with repeaters, and participating in emergency services.
