UK - AMATEUR RADIO EXAMS

On this site you will find lessons and revision questions for the Foundation, Intermediate and Advanced exams which are required to operate amateur radio equipment in the United Kingdom.

It is suggested that you work through a lesson and then try the multiple choice questions. If yo can achieve 80% on a quiz, then move on to the next lesson. The quizzes  provided feedback on incorrect answers. The learning objectives for each lesson are taken directly from the examination  syllabus. People learn in different ways and the time taken to reach a level of knowledge that will enable you to pass the exams will depend on pre-existing knowledge. It would be useful to make notes on each topic in a notebook or loose leaf folder.  There are a lot of sources of information adn you are encouraged to read these and add to your notes. You will also learn a lot by listening to other amateurs on the lower frequency bands. Every few lessons it will help your memory to go back over previous lessons to check that you haven't forgotten anything!

You will need to find out if your local radio club offer exams.
They will arrange for you to enter the exams, for which there is a fee, and assess the sections which require you to demonstrate practical skills.

To familiarise yourself with the mathematical formulae required at each level there is a page showing all these formulae with a description of their use and a link to lessons showing examples of how the formulae are used.
