Many area clubs offer instructor-based learning opportunities to prepare for your first amateur radio license (‘technician’) test or to help you prepare for a test to upgrade your license to ‘general’ or ‘extra’. These sessions are often free and scheduled once the club receives enough requests so don’t hesitate to contact once of the clubs below even if they don’t show scheduled dates (intermittent). They maybe ready to host a class very soon and may just need one or two more students like you to make it happen!

Once you’re ready, see our Testing Event page for resources in selecting a testing date and location.
