    I have created a FREE online license course for people looking to study the UK foundation amateur radio license.

    It covers the material needed for the RSGB Foundation exam.

    Designed specifically for the Covid-19 lockdown. Why not study whilst indoors avoiding the Covid-19 virus.

    Cool! Is there any way for a non-resident to get a UK license? All you need to get a US license is a mailing address in the US and someone to give you the exam. I am nominally on a US VE team in Switzerland. (I say "nominally," because they only administer the US exams twice a year, and I haven't been there for any of the sessions, yet, but I am on the email mailing list!)

    Tony,

    You need to sit the UK license in the UK as well as the theory test there practical exercises that must be done. The UK Foundation and Intermediate licenses are not recognized outwith the UK, only the UK full license has a CEPT agreement criteria.

    If you do all the exercises in one day and sit three exams in the next you can get a license that can be used worldwide. But you must sit the test within the UK at an exam center.

    When I try and set up an account and it asks me to agree to the Terms of Use and Customer Privacy Policy, those pages come out as blank. Please sort this out ASAP.

    Keith, there are no problems. The site is produced by Thinkific a professional online course creator. I have just created an account ticked the agree to terms and conditions and it has registered no problems. If this persists then please contact thinkific direct as I have no control over that element of the site

    Thank you so much for this. I had been studying the manual with the intention of taking the exam at some point, but with the intervention of Covid-19 this is a long way off.

    Your welcome.

    I would speak to the RSGB as they can now offer remote online exams. I believe this is at Foundation level and only at certain centres but if you email the RSGB they will explain the process.

    Thanks for your reply.

    Yes, I have been on the RSGB site and they are hoping to start online testing soon. They have dropped the practical assessments and have put in place a web conferencing service. Hopefully they are starting around 6th April.

    Cheers Chris.
