Question about the Advanced Qualification

Hello, my name is Joshua and my callsign is VE7TGB. I have a question. I recently got my basic (not basic with honours) a few months ago and was wondering if I have to get my basic with honours first to get my advanced. I checked the RAC website and it says that I need basics first to get advanced. Not sure if they mean basic or basic with honours.

Thanks,
VE7TGB

Joshua, definitely not. You’re fine with Basic. If you’re interested, we’re starting a new Study Group for the Advanced Cert on October 1. It’s by videoconference Tuesdays at 8:30 pm for 8 weeks and there is no cost. You can sign up here if you’re interested.

You can learn more here.

Okay, thanks for letting me know. Yes, I am interested in the study group for Advanced and I did sign up. See you then!

Hello Reg.
I joined the last study group and I was grateful for the help.

will there be some one offering a chance at the test after the 8 weeks?

Thanks for all of this
Tim

@Tim-va7wya Tim, definitely! We will have lots of examiners available at the Surrey Amateur Radio Club, and I will be arranging others for those in different areas. I even know one who is willing to do it by Zoom, although that’s generally reserved for people who don’t have in-person options.

Once the group is further along and can see the end in sight, I’ll be making firmer arrangements.
