Training

Foundation, Intermediate and Full Licence Exams

In the UK there are three levels of Amateur Radio licence – Foundation, Intermediate and Full.  The Radio Society of Harrow runs Foundation and Intermediate training courses.

The Radio Society of Harrow is an accredited examination centre with the RSGB.  Examinations at all levels can be taken online or on paper.  We strongly recommend taking exams online – students get their results immediately on completing the exam.

People wishing to register for either a course or an exam must first be registered on the club portal. (Click to register)

If you have already registered on the portal, log in and use the ‘Enrol me on a course’ option.

When completing the application, on page 3, select ‘Training Enrolment’ to distinguish your registration from a regular membership application.
