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. Exams are taken on line - either at home or at a registered exam centre (the Harrow Club facility is in Bushey, about one mile east of Watford town centre).
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.
